OSAC-4988: require explicit CORS allowed origins on the REST gateway

[mlorenzofr]

CorsMiddlewareBuilder.Build() defaulted to AllowedOrigins(["*"]) while always calling AllowCredentials(). That combination violates RFC 6454 §7.2 / Fetch spec §3.2.6, browsers reject credentialed CORS against a wildcard, but the contradiction indicates an operator intent mismatch and creates an undefined security posture for non-browser clients.

Summary

• CORS configuration: Build() now requires explicit allowed origins and rejects * when credentials are enabled.
• CLI flags: The allowed-origins flag now defaults to an empty list. Its help text requires explicit origins.
• Deployment: The REST gateway passes the fulfillment API hostname through --http-cors-allowed-origins.
• Tests: Tests cover missing origins, wildcard origins, and explicit single or multiple origins.
• Other areas: No database, authentication, CI, or documentation changes are reported.

Backward compatibility

Deployments without an explicit origin now fail during middleware construction. Operators must configure --http-cors-allowed-origins. The Helm deployment provides this value for the REST gateway.

The AddAllowedOrigins comment still describes the old wildcard default and should be updated.

Risk classification

risk:show — The change modifies runtime configuration requirements and CORS security behavior. Existing deployments can require operator configuration changes.

The labeling criteria were not supplied. Therefore, the specific criteria for risk:show, or proximity to risk:ship or risk:ask, cannot be verified. Test execution status and review severity counts were not supplied.

Walkthrough

The change removes the wildcard CORS default, requires explicit allowed origins, updates validation tests, and configures the REST gateway with the fulfillment API origin.

Changes

CORS origin configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Origin validation and configuration fulfillment-service/internal/network/cors.go, fulfillment-service/internal/network/cors_flags.go, fulfillment-service/internal/network/cors_test.go	Build and the CORS flags now reject missing or wildcard origins. The tests verify these failures and retain explicit-origin coverage.
REST gateway origin wiring fulfillment-service/charts/service/templates/rest-gateway/deployment.yaml	The REST gateway passes the fulfillment API hostname as its allowed CORS origin.

github gorilla handlers v1.5.2 AllowedOrigins "*" AllowCredentials source

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In the gorilla/handlers v1.5.2 package, the interaction between AllowedOrigins and AllowCredentials is governed by the CORS middleware implementation in cors.go [1][2]. AllowedOrigins The AllowedOrigins option accepts a slice of strings. If you provide []string{""}, the middleware sets the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to "" [1][3]. This effectively allows any domain to access the resource. AllowCredentials The AllowCredentials option sets the internal allowCredentials boolean to true [1][3]. When this is enabled, the middleware will set the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials HTTP header to "true" in the response [1][3]. Interaction and Security Implications According to CORS standards, the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header cannot be set to the wildcard "" when the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials header is set to "true". If a developer configures the handler with both AllowedOrigins([]string{""}) and AllowCredentials, the browser will block the request because this combination is invalid for credentialed CORS requests. Historically, older versions of the middleware (prior to v1.3.0) were vulnerable to CORS misconfigurations where they would improperly reflect the request&#39;s Origin header when configured with "", which could lead to security issues [4][5]. This was resolved in earlier versions [4][5]. For secure credentialed requests, the recommended approach is to provide a specific list of allowed origins or use the AllowedOriginValidator option to dynamically validate the origin against a whitelist, rather than using the wildcard "" [1][3]. Furthermore, when reflecting a specific origin, ensure the application correctly handles the Vary: Origin header to prevent cache poisoning issues [6].

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-942

Reject "*" as an allowed origin. handlers.AllowedOrigins([]string{"*"}) allows any origin and emits Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *. Browsers reject credentialed CORS with this wildcard, but the configuration still violates the flag contract and enables non-credentialed cross-origin access. Reject "*" in Build and add direct and flag-based tests.

In `@fulfillment-service/internal/network/cors.go` at line 109, Update Build to

flag-based tests verifying wildcard origins are rejected.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
