Gradle Enterprise vulnerability

9.8 CRITICALEPSS 0.77%
  1. Published9 Jan 2024

Description

In Gradle Enterprise before 2023.1, a remote attacker may be able to gain access to a new installation (in certain installation scenarios) because of a non-unique initial system user password. Although this password must be changed upon the first login, it is possible that an attacker logs in before the legitimate administrator logs in.
