Worked on the ORCID/ORCID-Source repository over a two-month period, focusing on backend development and API security using Java. Delivered two features centered on refining CORS policy and enhancing cross-origin request security. Refactored the CORS filter to centralize allowed origin management and updated development environment configuration, streamlining cross-origin handling and reducing configuration complexity. Further strengthened security by adding the x-xsrf-token header to pre-flight CORS requests, improving CSRF protection for integrations. The technical approach emphasized configuration clarity and alignment with best practices, with all changes tracked in version control. No bug fixes were reported, reflecting a targeted and stable engineering effort.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 monthly summary focusing on security hardening and cross-origin support for ORCID/ORCID-Source. Key deliverable: CORS pre-flight header enhancement (x-xsrf-token) to allowed headers, improving CSRF protection for cross-origin requests. The work includes updating the CORS filter chain for default requests to reflect best practices and reduce cross-origin risks. This contribution strengthens integration security with partners and lays groundwork for safer cross-origin interactions, with minimal performance impact.
