EXPLOITING TRUST: WEAPONIZING PERMISSIVE CORS CONFIGURATIONS

Websites can employ CORS to allow for sharing of data to a different website, bypassing same-origin restrictions. This blog post presents a collection of case studies that showcase CORS misconfigurations that can be exploited such as arbitrary reflected origin, only checking the beginning of the Origin header, trusting related subdomains or localhost, and other more complicated techniques. Advice to pentesters hunting for CORS vulnerabilities includes making sure to scan all endpoints, considering related domains, applying context to findings, and testing for subdomain reflection.

VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT ISN'T ABOUT FINDING ISSUES - IT'S ABOUT FIXING THEM

Most vulnerability management tools only handle the simplest portion of vulnerability management - finding vulnerabilities. Most tools don't have enough context to provide helpful remediation advice for practitioners to take action on their findings. The future of vulnerability management tools will include a set of AI agents that constantly build up context and state of the environment to not only find vulnerabilities, but pinpoint everywhere that they're in use and how they could be fixed.
