AI-suggested

European organizations using Altium 365 should immediately audit and restrict the CORS policies on their workspace endpoints to only allow trusted origins with a strict validation mechanism, avoiding wildcard or broad subdomain allowances. They should verify and harden the security posture of all Altium-controlled subdomains, such as forum.live.altium.com, ensuring no additional vulnerabilities exist that could be chained with this issue. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of untrusted scripts. Review and tighten IP allowlisting configurations and consider additional network segmentation to reduce exposure. Employ multi-factor authentication and monitor API access logs for anomalous or unauthorized activities. Engage with Altium support or security advisories to obtain patches or updates once available. Conduct internal penetration testing focusing on cross-origin interactions and privilege escalation scenarios. Finally, educate users about the risks of interacting with potentially compromised subdomains and enforce least privilege principles for workspace access.

Description

Altium 365 workspace endpoints were configured with an overly permissive Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policy that allowed credentialed cross-origin requests from other Altium-controlled subdomains, including forum.live.altium.com. As a result, JavaScript executing on those origins could access authenticated workspace APIs in the context of a logged-in user. When chained with vulnerabilities in those external applications, this misconfiguration enables unauthorized access to workspace data, administrative actions, and bypass of IP allowlisting controls, including in GovCloud environments.
