Abstract
A configuration sets an overly permissive CORS policy.
Explanation
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a technology that allows a domain to define a policy for its resources to be accessed by a web page hosted on a different domain. Historically, web browsers have restricted their domain resources from being accessed by scripts loaded from a different domain to abide by the same origin policy.
CORS provides a method for a domain to safelist other domains and allow them to access its resources.

Be careful when defining a CORS policy because an overly permissive policy configured at the server level for a domain or a directory on a domain can expose more content for cross-domain access than intended. CORS can enable a malicious application to communicate with a victim application inappropriately, leading to information disclosure, spoofing, data theft, relay, or other attacks.

Implementing CORS can increase an application's attack surface and should only be used when necessary.

Abstract
A configuration sets an overly permissive CORS policy.
Explanation
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a technology that allows a domain to define a policy for its resources to be accessed by a web page hosted on a different domain. Historically, web browsers have restricted their domain resources from being accessed by scripts loaded from a different domain to abide by the same origin policy.
CORS provides a method for a domain to safelist other domains and allow them to access its resources.

Be careful when defining a CORS policy because an overly permissive policy configured at the server level for a domain or a directory on a domain can expose more content for cross-domain access than intended. CORS can enable a malicious application to communicate with a victim application inappropriately, leading to information disclosure, spoofing, data theft, relay, or other attacks.

Implementing CORS can increase an application's attack surface and should only be used when necessary.

Abstract
A proxy server allowing CONNECT or GET requests without any restriction can enable an attacker to masquerade the origin of their attacks or access resources internal to the network.
Explanation
Some proxy servers accept the CONNECT or GET method to make an HTTP connection to another server. Usually, this method is restricted to internal use only. If it is not restricted, attackers can use the server can to disguise the origin of their attacks. Attackers might also be able to access internal machines through the proxy server and map the internal network. This type of vulnerability is usually caused by not properly configuring the proxy server.

Abstract
A missing signature means the integrity of a SOAP message cannot be guaranteed.
Explanation
Any part of a message that is not signed has the potential to be intercepted and modified without the knowledge of the sender or the receiver. Without a signature, the receiver cannot cryptographically verify that the contents of a message really originated with the sender.

Abstract
A configuration sets up a resource that lacks monitoring.
Explanation
Any delayed response to breaches undermines an organization's ability to limit the impact of a breach.

Configuration settings that undermine monitoring capabilities include but are not limited to:
- deliberately disabling monitoring
- not enabling optional monitoring
- not specifying relevant events to export to monitoring services
- exempting actions of specific users, groups, processes, and geographical regions from monitoring

Abstract
A configuration sets up a resource that lacks monitoring.
Explanation
Any delayed response to breaches undermines an organization's ability to limit the impact of a breach.

Configuration settings that undermine monitoring capabilities include but are not limited to:
- deliberately disabling monitoring
- not enabling optional monitoring
- not specifying relevant events to export to monitoring services
- exempting actions of specific users, groups, processes, and geographical regions from monitoring
