<overview>
<p>

A server can send the
<code>"Access-Control-Allow-Credentials"</code> CORS header to control
when a browser may send user credentials in Cross-Origin HTTP
requests.

</p>
<p>

When the <code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code> header
is <code>"true"</code>, the <code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code>
header must have a value different from <code>"*"</code> in order to
make browsers accept the header. Therefore, to allow multiple origins
for Cross-Origin requests with credentials, the server must
dynamically compute the value of the
<code>"Access-Control-Allow-Origin"</code> header. Computing this
header value from information in the request to the server can
therefore potentially allow an attacker to control the origins that
the browser sends credentials to.

<recommendation>
<p>

When the <code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code> header
value is <code>"true"</code>, a dynamic computation of the
<code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code> header must involve
sanitization if it relies on user-controlled input.


</p>
<p>

Since the <code>"null"</code> origin is easy to obtain for an
attacker, it is never safe to use <code>"null"</code> as the value of
the <code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code> header when the
<code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code> header value is
<code>"true"</code>.

</p>
</recommendation>

<example>
<p>

In the example below, the server allows the browser to send
user credentials in a Cross-Origin request. The request header
<code>origins</code> controls the allowed origins for such a
Cross-Origin request.

</p>

<sample src="examples/CorsBad.cs"/>

<p>

This is not secure, since an attacker can choose the value of
the <code>origin</code> request header to make the browser send
credentials to their own server. The use of a allowlist containing
allowed origins for the Cross-Origin request fixes the issue:
