JSONP (JSON with Padding) is a technique that enables cross-origin communication in web applications by bypassing the Same Origin Policy (SOP). While it can be a useful tool for integrating data from different domains, it also introduces potential security risks and limitations that need to be carefully considered. One of the main security risks associated

The same-origin policy is a fundamental security mechanism in web browsers that restricts the interaction between different web origins (i.e., combinations of scheme, host, and port) to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data. However, there are certain server-side exceptions to this policy that add complexity to its enforcement. In this response, we will explore these
