AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, it is recommended to review and restrict CORS policies to avoid using wildcards with allow_credentials enabled, limiting allowed origins to trusted domains only.

Description

CVE-2026-74881 affects jahlives openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.0, where the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policy is configured permissively with a wildcard allow_origins and allow_credentials set to true. This misconfiguration allows attackers to craft malicious websites that can make authenticated cross-origin requests to the API on behalf of users who visit these sites.
