CORStest – CORS Misconfiguration scanner
CORStest is a quick & dirty Python 2 tool to find Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) misconfigurations. It takes a text file as input which may contain a list of domain names or URLs.

Currently, the following potential vulnerabilities are detected by sending a certain Origin
request header and checking for the Access-Control-Allow-Origin
response header:
- Developer backdoor: Insecure dev origins like JSFiddle or CodePen are allowed to access this resource
- Origin reflection: The origin is simply echoed in ACAO header, any site is allowed to access this resource
- Null misconfiguration: Any site is allowed to access by forcing the
null
origin via a sandboxed iframe - Pre-domain wildcard: notdomain.com is allowed access, which can simply be registered by an attacker
- Post-domain wildcard: domain.com.evil.com is allowed access, which can be registered by an attacker
- Subdomains allowed: sub.domain.com allowed access, exploitable if attacker finds XSS in any subdomain
- Non-ssl sites allowed: A http origin is allowed access to a https resource, allows MitM to break encryption
- Invalid CORS header: Wrong use of wildcard or multiple origins, not a security problem but should be fixed
