How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 tomcat-jsp-2_3-api to version 9.0.10-3.7.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-jsp-2_3-api package and not the tomcat-jsp-2_3-api package as distributed by SLES:15.0. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

The defaults settings for the CORS filter provided in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.8, 8.5.0 to 8.5.31, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.52, 7.0.41 to 7.0.88 are insecure and enable 'supportsCredentials' for all origins. It is expected that users of the CORS filter will have configured it appropriately for their environment rather than using it in the default configuration. Therefore, it is expected that most users will not be impacted by this issue.
