CVE-2019-15052
The HTTP client in Gradle before 5.6 sends authentication credentials originally destined for the configured host.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.93%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The HTTP client in Gradle before 5.6 sends authentication credentials originally destined for the configured host. If that host returns a 30x redirect, Gradle also sends those credentials to all subsequent hosts that the request redirects to. This is similar to CVE-2018-1000007.
