CVE-2018-20745: Origin Validation Error

May 14, 2022 (updated August 28, 2023)

Yii 2.x through 2.0.15.1 actively converts a wildcard CORS policy into reflecting an arbitrary Origin header value, which is incompatible with the CORS security design, and could lead to CORS misconfiguration security problems.
