NVD · uneditedGradle Enterprise through 2022.2.2 has Incorrect Access Control that leads to code execution.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceGradle Enterprise versions through 2022.2.2 contain an incorrect access control vulnerability that allows authenticated users to bypass authorization checks and execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate Gradle Enterprise installationCheck common installation paths such as /opt/gradle-enterprise, /usr/local/gradle-enterprise, or the service startup script for the installation directory. Also check if the application is running as a service via systemctl or docker ps.Affected if Gradle Enterprise is installed and running on the system.
-
Determine the installed Gradle Enterprise versionCheck the version by inspecting the gradle-enterprise-version file in the installation directory, or query the application health endpoint if accessible, or run: cat /path/to/gradle-enterprise/gradle-enterprise-versionAffected if The version cannot be determined or is below 2022.2.3.
-
Compare the version against the affected rangeCompare the installed version number to the affected range: any version from the initial release through 2022.2.2 is vulnerable. Versions 2022.2.3 and later are patched.Affected if The installed version is 2022.2.2 or earlier.
-
Verify user authentication is enabledInspect the authentication configuration in the Gradle Enterprise admin console or configuration files to confirm user authentication is in use.Affected if User authentication is enabled and the Gradle Enterprise version is 2022.2.2 or earlier.
A user is affected if Gradle Enterprise is installed with a version from the initial release through 2022.2.2, as this version range contains the access control bypass flaw.

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 · scoped1.3.1
Upgrade Gradle Enterprise to version 2022.2.3 or later to obtain the patched release that addresses the access control bypass.
Gradle Enterprise 1.3.1 or later
- 1. Identify the exact Gradle Enterprise installation in your environment
- 2. Navigate to the Gradle Enterprise administration console
- 3. Check the currently installed version under 'About' or 'System Information'
- 4. If version is prior to 1.3.1, download the latest Gradle Enterprise 1.3.x release from the official Gradle Enterprise download portal
- 5. Follow Gradle's official upgrade documentation to apply the update
- 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number post-upgrade
- 7. Test that authentication and authorization controls are functioning correctly
