CVE-2018-20744
The Olivier Poitrey Go CORS handler through 1.3.0 actively converts a wildcard CORS policy into reflecting an arbitrary Origin header value, which is incompatible with the CORS security design, and could lead to CORS misconfiguration security problems.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.72%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
