How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-el-api to version 7.0.58, 8.0.16 or higher.

Overview

org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-el-api is an Expression language package for Tomcat.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control. It does not properly consider the possibility of an accessible interface implemented by an inaccessible class, which allows attackers to bypass a SecurityManager protection mechanism via a web application that leverages use of incorrect privileges during EL evaluation.
