Research direction

Start by locating the corsProxy URL and its endpoint configuration, then read the existing authentication handling. Done means requests to the proxy require authentication and it is no longer exposed as a public proxy; inspect or run the relevant endpoint tests if available.

Description

authentication bug priority-high

Am away from proper keyboard at the moment to follow up closely.

I thought there was an issue or discussion somewhere already on this but if this is a duplicate issue or inapplicable, feel free to close.

The corsProxy URL must require authentication so as to not expose am open/public proxy.
