Bitcoin Core if you disable authentication





There's no such thing, short of forking it yourself. You can set the username and password to admin:admin if you want, but Bitcoin Core's JSON-RPC server requires an Authorization header on every request [0], and you can't put an Authorization header on a cross-origin request without a preflight.

Good to know, I remember you used to be able to disable it via config but looks like I was wrong
