What's causing this? Will it spread to other plants?

TIA


I have some problems like that too. It is called blossom end rot. I have
found that once the bad part of the tomato has been removed, the remainder
can be very tasty.

Supposedly, it is caused by insufficient calcium. I grow my tomatoes
hydroponicly. The nutrient supplier suggests adding calcium as calcium
nitrate as well as magnesium in the form of Epsom salt also known as
magnesium sulfate.
