One origin value deserves a line because it breaks `postMessage` checks: documents in a sandboxed `iframe` without `allow-same-origin`, and documents loaded from `data:` URLs, have an opaque origin, which serialises as the string `null`. In a `message` handler `event.origin` is then literally `"null"`, and every origin the browser cannot serialise looks the same, so an allowlist must never include it; the same applies to a CORS policy that echoes `Origin: null` back in `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`, which makes every sandboxed or `data:` document trusted. The practical rule: compare `event.origin` against a fixed list of `https://` origins and treat anything else, `null` included, as a rejection.
