Comment on: A proposal to restrict sites from accessing a users’ local network

Doesn't CORS just restrict whether the webpage JS context gets to see the response of the target request? The request itself happens anyway, right?So the attack vector that I can imagine is that JS on the browser can issue a specially crafted request to a vulnerable printer or whatever that triggers arbitrary code execution on that other device. That code might be sufficient to cause the printer to carry out your evil task, including making an outbound connection to the attacker's server. Of course, the webpage would not be able to discover whether it was successful, but that may not be import
