CORS is one of my favorite interview questions (front-end/react dev) as it has the potential to tell me if the interviewee is the person who has researched the problem and implemented solutions. There is a lot of potential discussion from how it works, why it's necessary, to how it is solved in production vs development.

CORS is something I 'fixed' once, five years ago. Hard to talk in detail about that anymore. I wish we would have the time to implement it safely, but alas. We still can't produce an allowList of allowed domains :/

I'm careful that I don't demand anyone go into depth on any particular subject. CORS is just one opportunity that seems to need a fix with every new project. It also has a variety of solutions, which is again opportunity to show what they know.

There is little point in looking for what a client doesn't know. I've got that covered.
