Research direction

Start by inspecting how release candidate and snapshot information is loaded into openscad.org and how final releases are supplied in this repository. Compare serving JSON from files.openscad.org with storing the information here and updating it through GitHub Actions. Done means the information loads without embedded JavaScript code injection and the chosen update path is automated or has the required CORS header.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The current information about release candidate and snapshots are loaded from files.openscad.org . This is a cross origin request.

As workaround the files are served as embedded javascript. This enables code injection.

Json would be safe, but requires to set the cors header to allow the resource to be loaded by openscad.org

Is it possible to set the cors header on files.openscad.org?

Or supply the rc and snapshot information with this repository like the final releases and automate the update of the information by github actions?
