Description Sam Fowler 2018-05-18 03:29:20 UTC 
Apache Tomcat through versions 7.0.88, 8.0.52, 8.5.31 and 9.0.8 have defaults settings for the CORS filter that are insecure and enable 'supportsCredentials' for all origins.

Comment 22 Doran Moppert 2019-07-15 04:11:16 UTC 
Mitigation:

When using the CORS filter, it is recommended to configure it explicitly for your environment.  In particular, the combination of `cors.allowed.origins = *` and `cors.support.credentials = True` should be avoided as this  can leave your application vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS). For details on configuring CORS filter, please refer to https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/filter.html#CORS_Filter
