CVE-2016-10549: Sails is an MVC style framework for building realtime web applications.

Sails is an MVC style framework for building realtime web applications. Version 0.12.7 and lower have an issue with the CORS configuration where the value of the origin header is reflected as the value for the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. This would allow an attacker to make AJAX requests to vulnerable hosts through cross site scripting or a malicious HTML Document, effectively bypassing the Same Origin Policy. Note that this is only an issue when `allRoutes` is set to `true` and `origin` is set to `*` or left commented out in the sails CORS config file. The problem can be compounded when the cors `credentials` setting is not provided. At that point authenticated cross domain requests are possible.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Sails applications can accidentally trust any website as an allowed CORS origin. If the vulnerable CORS settings are present, a malicious page may make browser requests to the app and bypass normal same-origin protections, potentially including authenticated requests. Exposure is likely limited to Sails applications running version 0.12.7 or lower with allRoutes enabled and origin set to wildcard or left commented out in the CORS configuration. Prioritize review for internet-facing or cookie-authenticated Sails applications. Business urgency rises when affected apps expose customer data, administrative actions, or session-backed APIs to browser users. Mitigation focus: Check Sails and Node Security guidance for the supported fixed version or upgrade path.; Audit config/cors settings for allRoutes, origin, and credentials behavior.; Avoid wildcard or unset origins for routes that handle sensitive data..

Improper Access Control

Improper Access Control represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
