Summary

When an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is set to 403 Forbidden in a static or dynamic web server application, users can only access specific URLs provided via an `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` parameter, typically found in the request method `OPTIONS` response body. This restriction prevents all clients, including browsers, from making HTTP requests to the endpoint defined by the `Allow` directive, effectively closing all potential entry points to that path.

For example, a developer who relies on `OPTIONS` requests to test how browsers handle this policy will likely encounter an HTTP error (such as 404, 413, or 414) when navigating through their application to the specific protected route. The `Allow` header acts as a hard cap, allowing the browser to identify if the request is legitimate and then refusing it, preventing any unauthorized access even if the target host or path is correctly configured.
