Release Notes

gradle/gradle (gradle)

v9.8.1: 9.8.1

Compare Source

This is a patch release for Gradle 9.8.0. We recommend using 9.8.1 instead of 9.8.0.

This release addresses three high rated vulnerabilities:

• Unauthenticated worker-to-daemon channel deserializes untrusted Java objects
• Deserialization of untrusted Java objects before authentication in the client - daemon communication
• Failure to disable repositories failing to establish an SSL connection can expose builds to malicious artifacts

The following issues were resolved:

• [Gradle 9.8.0 complains again about invalid Toolchains on Debian / Ubuntu packaged systems]- (#​39358)
• Gradle 9.8.0 removes root java.util.logging handlers installed by a custom LogManager (breaks Quarkus test log capture)
• Dependency resolution regression
