CVE-2015-2186 describes a vulnerability in the Ansible edxapp role within the edX Configuration Repo, where remote websites could spoof edX accounts. This was due to the CORS_ORIGIN_ALLOW_ALL setting being incorrectly interpreted as true because the string literal "False" was used instead of a boolean False. Rated 7.5 HIGH on CVSS, this network-exploitable vulnerability has a high impact on integrity, allowing unauthorized access or manipulation of edX accounts. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
