### Summary A CORS misconfiguration vulnerability exists in default installations of Strapi where attacker-controlled origins are improperly reflected in API responses. ### Technical Details By default, Strapi reflects the value of the Origin header back in the Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header without proper validation or whitelisting. Example: `Origin: http://localhost:8888` `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://localhost:8888` `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true` This allows an attacker-controlled site (on a different port, like 8888) to send credentialed requests to the Strapi backend on 1337. ### Suggested Fix 1. Explicitly whitelist trusted origins 2. Avoid reflecting dynamic origins

"UNC5142 is characterized by its use of compromised WordPress websites and 'EtherHiding,' a technique used

Scaling the SOC with AI - Why now?  Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are under unprecedented pressure. According to SACR’s AI-SOC Market Landscape 2025, the average organization now faces around 960 alerts per day, while large enterprises manage more than 3,000 alerts daily from an average of 28 different tools. Nearly 40% of those alerts go uninvestigated, and 61% of security teams admit
