CWE	CWE-345: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
OWASP	A08:2021 - Software and Data Integrity Failures
Confidence Level	Low
Impact Level	Low
Likelihood Level	Low

Description

The code listens for 'message' events (e.g., from postMessage) but does not check the origin of the messages received. This allows messages from any website or iframe to be processed, regardless of their trustworthiness.

Impact

An attacker could send malicious messages from another origin, potentially causing your application to execute harmful actions or leak sensitive data. This can lead to security issues like cross-site scripting (XSS), data theft, or unauthorized actions within your app.
