Description

The javadoc for HttpSecurity.cors(Customizer<CorsConfigurer<HttpSecurity>>) gives the impression that CORS is opt-in. Since the changes made for #5011 and #15444 that's no longer the case with a single UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource bean now being sufficient to enable CORS without using the cors portion of the security configuration DSL.

Research direction

Start at the Javadoc for HttpSecurity.cors(Customizer<CorsConfigurer>) and review the behavior introduced by #5011 and #15444. Update the wording so it no longer implies that CORS is enabled only through the security DSL, and verify that the documentation accurately describes a single UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource bean as sufficient.
