GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g: Anki's local HTTP server does not sufficiently validate requests

Anki launches a local HTTP server to serve media files and web pages for parts of its interface. While the server has a CORS setup, requests from other origins were not blocked, allowing malicious websites to potentially trigger side-effecting requests.
