WebSocket always defers the decision to the server, because it didn't have to deal with legacy compatibility... but the same-origin policy is still a reasonable default. Origin checks do not protect against a directly connecting attacker -- they can lie about their host, but can also lie about their origin. Origin checks protect against a connection from 3rd-party controlled script in a context where a victim browser's cookies will be passed along. And if an attacker has breached that protection, they've already compromised the HTTP session, so treating the WebSocket connection in the same way seems reasonable. In case this logic proves incorrect (or anyone just wants to be more paranoid), we retain a config option to disable it. |
