Sensitive API data exposure via wildcard CORS

Published Mar 20, 2025 · Updated Mar 20, 2025

CORS origin validation error in NetEase Youdao QAnything 1.4.1 allows remote attackers to read API responses across web origins. In sanic_api.py, response and preflight middleware set Access-Control-Allow-Origin to a wildcard while enabling credentialed requests. Exposure requires the Sanic service to be browser-reachable; successful cross-origin reads disclose knowledge-base API data without altering service state.
