# Exploit Title: Wordpress 5.2.4 - Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
# Date: 2019-10-28
# Exploit Author: Milad Khoshdel
# Software Link: https://wordpress.org/download/
# Version: Wordpress 5.2.4
# Tested on: Linux Apache/2 PHP/7.2

# Vulnerable Page:
https://[Your-Domain]/wp-json

# POC:
# The web application fails to properly validate the Origin header (check Details section for more information) 
# and returns the header Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true. In this configuration any website can issue 
# requests made with user credentials and read the responses to these requests. Trusting arbitrary 
# origins effectively disables the same-origin policy, allowing two-way interaction by third-party web sites.
