Vulnerable/Wildcard CORS Policy

[ArshVermaGit]

Changes Made:

• Modified backend/main.py CORS middleware.
• Replaced allow_methods=["*"] with an explicit list: ["GET", "POST", "PATCH", "OPTIONS"].
• Replaced allow_headers=["*"] with an explicit list: ["Content-Type", "Authorization", "Accept"].
  By explicitly declaring only the capabilities actually utilized by our frontend client, we massively reduce the API attack surface area. This ensures that even if an attacker manages to hijack an approved origin, their ability to execute destructive, unverified HTTP behaviors or inject malicious headers is structurally blocked by the browser.
