Bypassing SOP Using the Browser Cache

Bypassing SOP using the browser cache

The browser cache is keyed only on the absolute URL, with no record of which origin requested it. A JSONP or CORS response cached after a legitimate same-site request is handed back to any site that requests the same URL, so Referer, Origin, SameSite and custom-header checks never run because the request never reaches the server.
