Resolution

API Gateway is actually not vulnerable to any of these CVEs, descriptions for all of them are stating:

This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator).

API Gateway is running on server side and policies executed (including scripting policies) are deployed by privileged users only.

It's noted the issues are all fixed in 1.8.0_371 (or 11.0.19+7) and API Gateway will update to a fixed JRE in an update later in 2023.
