CVE-2022-23630
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedGradle is a build tool with a focus on build automation and support for multi-language development. In some cases, Gradle may skip that verification and accept a dependency that would otherwise fail the build as an untrusted external artifact. This occurs when dependency verification is disabled on one or more configurations and those configurations have common dependencies with other configurations that have dependency verification enabled. If the configuration that has dependency verification disabled is resolved first, Gradle does not verify the common dependencies for the configuration that has dependency verification enabled. Gradle 7.4 fixes that issue by validating artifacts at least once if they are present in a resolved configuration that has dependency verification active. For users who cannot update either do not use `ResolutionStrategy.disableDependencyVerification()` and do not use plugins that use that method to disable dependency verification for a single configuration or make sure resolution of configuration that disable that feature do not happen in builds that resolve configuration where the feature is enabled.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedGradle 7.4 or later (e.g., Gradle 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 8.x)
- 1. Check the current Gradle version by running `gradle --version` in your project
- 2. Stop any running Gradle daemons to avoid version conflicts: `gradle --stop`
- 3. Update the Gradle wrapper to version 7.4 or later using `gradle wrapper --gradle-version=7.4` or manually edit gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to set `distributionUrl` to a 7.4+ version (e.g., `https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4-bin.zip`)
- 4. Run `./gradlew --version` to confirm the upgrade was successful
- 5. Run your build (`./gradlew build` or similar) to verify the upgrade does not break your existing build process

The advisory tells you what broke. It rarely tells you what actually worked. If you’ve dealt with this one, that detail is what the next engineer is searching for.
