Overview

Flask-Cors is an A Flask extension adding a decorator for CORS support

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Origin Validation Error due to the replacement of + characters with spaces in the unquote_plus() function, when handling the request.path parameter. An attacker can cause unauthorized cross-origin access or block valid requests by manipulating URL paths, leading to CORS policy bypasses.
