Summary
All versions of com.gradle.plugin-publish before 0.11.0 are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File. When a plugin author publishes a Gradle plugin while running Gradle with the --info log level flag, the Gradle Logger logs an AWS pre-signed URL. If this build log is publicly visible (as it is in many popular public CI systems like TravisCI) this AWS pre-signed URL would allow a malicious actor to replace a recently uploaded plugin with their own.
Patch / fix
- maven com.gradle.publish:plugin-publish-plugin 0.11.0
- maven com.gradle.plugin-publish:com.gradle.plugin-publish.gradle.plugin 0.11.0
- gradle plugin_publishing 0.11.0
Exploit prediction
0.48% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 41% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
