What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the critical gap of undetected CORS misconfigurations in web applications and APIs that allow attackers to steal sensitive authenticated user data, including PII, session tokens, and CSRF tokens, which are often missed in standard reconnaissance workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive Flaw Coverage: Detects all major CORS misconfiguration classes including origin reflection with credentials, null-origin trust, subdomain regex bypasses, pre-flight gating bypasses, and loose postMessage origin checks.
- Field-Validated Methodology: Includes step-by-step hunting workflows, regex bypass payload tables tailored to specific server parsing flaws, and browser-based proof-of-concept templates proven on real-world targets.
- Use Case: For a pentester testing a WordPress e-commerce site, use this skill to systematically probe REST API endpoints for CORS credential reflection, confirm the vulnerability with a browser PoC, and chain the finding to token theft for account takeover.
Quick Start
Use the hunt-cors skill to test all identified API endpoints on the target web application for CORS misconfigurations, confirm any findings with a browser-based proof of concept, and document the impact of any authenticated data exfiltration risk.
