Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Olivier Poitrey Go CORS handler versions 1.3.0 and earlier
Description: The issue arises from the active conversion of a wildcard CORS policy into reflecting an arbitrary Origin header value, which is incompatible with the CORS security design. This incompatibility could lead to CORS misconfiguration security problems.
Recommendations: For versions 1.3.0 and earlier, consider disabling the CORS handler until a patch is available to prevent potential CORS misconfiguration security problems. Restrict access to the CORS policy configuration to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using wildcard CORS policies in the affected handler until the issue is resolved.
