[@edisonarango]

Well, CORS might seem to protect websites from requests of evil origins, but it's super weak, it can be bypassed easily by making requests outside of browsers or just by creating a Proxy, besides, the requests always hit the server, so in the end it's not really that helpful, and instead, it always annoys developers on every single project.

[@Norsilca]

What kind of proxy are you talking about? A proxy running on the user's machine next to the browser? That's a lot harder to do than getting some javascript running in someone's browser.

[@edisonarango]

@@Norsilca No, a server proxy, you can easlily get the response from server to server and then return it with the CORS headers.

[@Norsilca]

@@edisonarango Wouldn't your proxy have to be running at the same origin as the first party website?

[@wadexyz]

@@Norsilcai don't think that guy has a clue what he's talking about based on his response. either that, or he's a genius and we're both baffled.

Cors only applies to JSON and is enforced by the Client. It hardly prevents cross site scripting. The requests go through fine, you just can’t read the results.

[@niton6474]

[@PabloGnesutta]

And why is it that static files are allowed (including executables scripts) but calling the API is not?

[@killerdroid99]

because of allowed origins in the server side cors settings, only the whitelisted hosts are allowed to fetch or mutate data that is why you have to declare those hosts in the environment variables

Off topic, was wondering if you can provide some insight to this question or anyone for that matter. I'm a javascript developer, love doing frontend development with react progressing towards fullstack but I'm a bit confused about what after fullstack? What are some viable career paths to choose, I'm open to branching out to other fields in relevance, I am learner and love to see my limits(Also interested in security but found my niche in web development due to low entry barrier) Feedbacks are much appreciated.

[@Michael-Martell]

Honestly If my web security doesn’t have a Slavic accent idk if I could fully trust him/her. This guy really knows his target market.

[@gerolmed]

I still dont quite get what this prevents. If i make a page i wont add in any requests to servers I dont want them to go. An attacker couldn't modify my page or inject any api calls. So why would I want a cors policy to be not widely open in that case

[@niton6474]

I would rename "And why do we need CORS?" to "What does CORS do?" because the reason of the blocking (what i urge to understand) is not explained at all. The title is a little missleading

[@shaynepreston6055]

Can you explain a little why stylesheets and scripts were fine to grab from the external server but the api call was blocked? I understand the premise of CORS but is there a reason that css and scripts were ignored? Is there other things that CORS ignores as well?

[@cloudfox1908]

Edit: This is WRONG: The basic premise is that you can receive/download assets from the external origin, but you cannot send anything to it.

[@shaynepreston6055]

@@cloudfox1908 got it. What about something like an HTTP GET request? While I’m not sending anything to my server is that still a part of the CORS model?

[@cloudfox1908]

@@shaynepreston6055 ah I led you wrong before. When you download/GET a page, you are still making a request to a server for those resources. The reason it may be allowed is because "For security reasons, browsers restrict cross-origin HTTP requests initiated from within scripts." I'm assuming it's ok since it wasn't within a script, but this stuff is quite confusing for me too. Reference: stackoverflow.com/a/42605316/14056792

Wondering cross policy is only for frontend. If anyone try to fetch using backend language, then it ignores cross policy.

[@efari]

But then why do the external stylesheets and scripts and images get loaded? They are also cross-origin but yet they are not blocked by the browser???

[@johnlee4778]

@7:40 he doesn't explain how making this request and getting the static files is possible through the external origin. Is it because the Express 'get()' acts as a middleware? Or is it because somehow 'public' folder is recognized as the same origin(url) due to its folder structure/location..?

[@tjgdddfcn]

Express.js (and all other backend libraries) disables CORS by default on static files

[@ashuzon]

This video is? I mean if you know fetch, js, some online wordlists and how to press F12, you don't need to step out of your browser to do all penetration tests. F12 in browser is OP. Every aspect can be checked via developer tools, the networking, request/response, data manipulation, js manipulation and many more.

[@cubeofcheese5574]

So you can retrieve static files from and external server but not call its api

[@benhalicki9749]

Good video, thanks for sharing. Can you please explain how a hacker could take advantage of a website not implementing CORS correctly? From what I understand this does nothing to protect the API as CORS is enforced by the browser. Thanks

[@tomihawk01]

4:50 What am I missing here? If Origin B is the potentially malicious server, why is it Origin B that whitelists Origin A? And what is the browser protecting me from by preventing outward communication with Origin B? Or is Origin B the thing that CORS is protecting? I don't get it.

[@Aakrarvaxa]

I can explain partially. The browser is protecting you from another origin’s attack. If you have one tab open in the browser and open the second one with malicious software - JavaScript on this website can do anything that you can do on that 1st page (as a user). So for example it may be able to view sensitive data, read messages, or analyze DOM as you type in your password etc. Same origin policy does not allow these two tabs (origins) to communicate on this level. The browser checks if the JavaScript comes from an HTML page on the same origin or if it comes from an external origin. If that is the case - access is blocked by the browser.

[@Dxpress_]

From the diagram, it looks like Origin A wants to request the images, CSS styles, and scripts from Origin B. In this case, Origin A is the potentially malicious one, since it's the one requesting the data.

[@tomihawk01]

@@Aakrarvaxa It makes a little bit of sense but it also contradicts what the image shows. You say "Same origin policy does not allow these two tabs (origins) to communicate on this level" but tabs aren't origins. The servers are the origins. And how did this become about two tabs communicating?

[@tomihawk01]

@@Dxpress_ I don't see anything in the diagram showing Origins requesting data. Origin A and B are the servers. They don't request anything.

[@Dxpress_]

@@tomihawk01 You're right actually, the diagram is drawn a bit weirdly. And yeah, I don't know what the guy was on about with the two browser tabs either. I think what they meant to imply was that the website displayed in the browser is hosted on Origin A. When the website requests data, the origin sent in the request is not the user's origin, it is still Origin A, since that's where the site is hosted.
