Description : Pake turns a website into a desktop application built on Tauri. Every application it generates inherits two settings from the upstream template, and together they hand native functionality to untrusted web content.
The first is in src-tauri/capabilities/default. json, which grants IPC access with "remote": { "urls": ["* *"] }. That wildcard tells Tauri to accept IPC from any HTTPS origin, not just the site the application was built to wrap. The second is "withGlobalTauri": true in src-tauri/tauri. conf. json, which puts window. __TAURI__. core. invoke() in reach of ordinary page JavaScript.
Tauri's access control list only checks plugin commands, the ones prefixed with plugin:. Commands the application registers itself through generate_handler!
