If you can use XMLHttpRequest to perform a request against a machine
on your LAN that isn't using CORS, and then read the response, then
there is a bug, and you will get a healthily sized cheque from Google
or Mozilla for reporting it to them. If you can't read the response
then there isn't a bug. What you're seeing is: how the web works.
