What is CVE-2019-16517?

A significant security issue exists in ConnectWise Control that arises from improper Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) configurations. Specifically, the application reflects the Origin header from incoming requests, enabling any JavaScript running on any external domain to interact with the server's APIs. This vulnerability permits unauthorized users to execute administrative actions without the victim's awareness, posing severe risks to the integrity and security of the managed systems.
