CVE-2015-9243: Unsafe Merging of CORS Configuration Conflict in hapi

September 1, 2020 (updated January 7, 2021)

When server level, connection level or route level CORS configurations in hapi node module before 11.1.4 are combined and when a higher level config included security restrictions (like origin), a higher level config that included security restrictions (like origin) would have those restrictions overridden by less restrictive defaults (e.g. origin defaults to all origins *).
