Yes, the official specification states cross-origin attribute as:
The crossorigin attribute is a CORS settings attribute. Its purpose is to allow images from third-party sites that allow cross-origin access to be used with canvas.
You can use it to solve JavaScript errors like to log js errors:
if (securityOrigin()->canRequest(targetUrl)) { msg = myErroe; line = myLineNumber; source = sourceURL; } else { msg = "Error!"; source = String(); line = 0; }
