What is cross-origin authentication?
What is cross-origin authentication? When authentication requests are made from your application (via the Lock widget or a custom login form) to Auth0, the user’s credentials are sent to a domain that differs from the one that serves your application.
How do you solve cross-origin problems?
In order to fix CORS, you need to make sure that the API is sending proper headers (Access-Control-Allow-*). That’s why it’s not something you can fix in the UI, and that’s why it only causes an issue in the browser and not via curl: because it’s the browser that checks and eventually blocks the calls.

Why is Cross Origin Resource Sharing ( CORS ) important?
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a protocol that enables scripts running on a browser client to interact with resources from a different origin. This is useful because, thanks to the same-origin policy followed by XMLHttpRequest and fetch, JavaScript can only make calls to URLs that live on the same origin as…

Fetch fails, as expected. The core concept here is origin – a domain/port/protocol triplet. Cross-origin requests – those sent to another domain (even a subdomain) or protocol or port – require special headers from the remote side. That policy is called “CORS”: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.

Check that the Access-Control-Allow-Origin is not too permissive according to the best practices. Verify that the origin validation is properly enforced by using the most common bypasses known by Tenable Research.
