Description Pedro Sampaio 2017-07-13 13:06:12 UTC 
Missing anchor in generated regex for rack-cors before 0.4.1
allows a malicious third-party site to perform CORS requests.
If the configuration were intended to allow only the trusted
example.com domain name and not the malicious example.net domain name,
then example.com.example.net (as well as example.com-example.net) would
be inadvertently allowed.
