Description
The code sets the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header to '*', allowing any website to make requests to your application's resources. This disables browser-based CORS protections and exposes your API or site to requests from any origin.
Impact
Attackers could exploit this to make unauthorized cross-origin requests, potentially stealing sensitive data or performing actions as logged-in users. This weakens origin-based access controls and increases the risk of data leaks or misuse of your application's APIs.
