This urgent update addresses a critical security vulnerability. If an unauthorized individual gains access to a web server file (such as JavaScript), they could potentially manipulate all loaded pages to execute malicious scripts, such as capturing keystrokes or stealing SessionIDs and transmitting them to a remote server.
To mitigate this risk, modern browsers enforce the Same-origin policy
Your specific issue arises when your script attempts to retrieve data from a different domain (or subdomain) via an Ajax request.
In order to resolve this issue (particularly if the content is hosted on your own site), you have several options:
- Replicate the required elements on your local server (although they will remain static).
- Adjust your HTTP headers to permit Cross-Origin content. Refer to the Access-Control-Allow-Origin documentation for detailed instructions.
