Thanks. How to solve the issue from the front end if sending request to remote server?

Glad I found this goldmine, hope your popularity explodes soon :) How big of a security threat is it to disable cors for all incoming calls ? You would still make usual security checks (tokens/user permissions etc) before forwarding DB data for exemple. Why is it so bad ?

[@koding_101]

Thank you so much so much😇, i hope so too

Disabling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for all incoming calls can be a significant security threat for web applications.

[@koding_101]

If CORS is disabled, it allows any website or attacker to bypass the same-origin policy and make cross-domain requests to your application. This can lead to a range of security vulnerabilities, such as cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and other attacks.

[@koding_101]

For example, an attacker could use a script on their website to send a request to your web application and steal sensitive user data, such as session tokens or authentication credentials. Additionally, an attacker could inject malicious code into your website, potentially compromising the security of your entire web application.
