CORS Security Middleware for Satoshi Showdown. This middleware configures Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policies for the application. It is crucial for controlling how resources are shared between different origins, enhancing security and preventing unwanted cross-origin access. By specifying allowed origins, methods, headers, and credentials, this middleware helps define and enforce rules for how external sources can interact with the server. Proper configuration of CORS is important for web applications that interact with APIs or resources from different domains.

Methods
(inner) corsSecurityMiddleware() → {function}
Configures and returns CORS middleware with custom options.
This function initializes the CORS middleware with specific settings tailored to the application's
security needs. These settings can include configurations like whitelisted origins, allowed HTTP methods,
support for credentials, and headers. Adjusting the corsOptions allows the application to fine-tune
cross-origin access controls, balancing security with functionality. This is especially important for
applications that are accessed by various clients from different domains or for APIs that are consumed
publicly or by specific external entities.
Returns:
Configured CORS middleware function with specified access control policies. The options can be customized based on the application's cross-origin interaction requirements.
