Is it possible for unauthorized users to manipulate your server (e.g. increasing a voting counter, leaving a comment, removing a post, etc)? If so, does it raise concerns if a website that you do not manage encourages their users to utilize these features on your website? Are the access control headers configured to allow remote XHR requests for these actions? If yes, then there is a potential security issue.
Can registered users make changes to your server? If so, does it raise concerns if a website that you do not manage asks their users, who are also your users, to use these features on your website? Do the access control headers permit remote XHR requests for these actions? Do the access control headers allow authentication methods like cookies? If so, there may be a security problem.
In summary:
- Is there a possibility for a user to perform undesired actions on your website?
- Do your access control headers prevent third-party websites from prompting users to perform these undesired actions?
