README.md

This is a security enforcement tool for administrators of a hosting and DNS platform. It automatically blocks attempts to configure a CNAME DNS record that points a domain from one user account to a resource in another account, preventing unauthorized cross-user redirects.

CNAME Cross-User Blocking: The system actively detects and prevents the setup of CNAME records that would link domains belonging to separate user accounts. This stops one account from hijacking or misusing the traffic of another.

Policy Enforcement: The block is applied automatically based on the platform's security policies. Administrators do not need to manually configure rules for this specific scenario.

Error Notification: When a blocked request is made, the system returns a clear error message (Error 1014) to the visitor, indicating a 'CNAME Cross-User Banned' condition. This provides immediate feedback about the invalid configuration.

Resource Protection: This measure protects resources like R2 buckets or other services, ensuring that custom domains pointing to them are correctly owned and configured by the same account holder, preventing unauthorized access or data exposure.
