Overview
I contributed security fixes to Reencuentro, an open-source team project for reporting and searching for missing people and pets. My work focused on CORS origin validation, regression tests and safer configuration documentation.
The Problem
A permissive origin check could accept a hostile domain containing an allowed hostname. Configuration examples also needed clearer security requirements.
Methodology
Exact-origin matching and regression coverage
I replaced substring-based CORS matching with normalized exact-origin comparison, including the scheme, and added tests for hostile substrings, scheme downgrades, unlisted subdomains and ports. I also improved configuration templates and documentation.
Key Findings
This entry documents my security contribution; it does not claim sole authorship or independently verified emergency-response outcomes.
Conclusion
The public contribution includes a tested CORS utility and aligned configuration guidance. The wider application and its features are the team’s work.
