CVE-2022-30587
📋 TL;DR
Gradle Enterprise versions through 2022.2.2 have an incorrect access control vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to access sensitive information. This affects organizations using Gradle Enterprise for build automation and software development. The vulnerability stems from improper authorization checks in certain endpoints.
💻 Affected Systems
- Gradle Enterprise
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could access sensitive build artifacts, source code, credentials, and proprietary intellectual property stored in Gradle Enterprise.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to build logs, dependency information, and potentially sensitive configuration data.
If Mitigated
Limited exposure if network segmentation restricts access and proper authentication is enforced.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires network access to Gradle Enterprise but does not require authentication. The vulnerability is in authorization logic, not authentication.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 2022.2.3 and later
Vendor Advisory: https://security.gradle.com/advisory/2022-10
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup your Gradle Enterprise instance. 2. Upgrade to version 2022.2.3 or later. 3. Restart the Gradle Enterprise service. 4. Verify the upgrade was successful.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Access Restriction
allRestrict network access to Gradle Enterprise to only trusted IP addresses and networks.
# Use firewall rules to restrict access
# Example: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -s trusted_network -j ACCEPT
# Example: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to isolate Gradle Enterprise from untrusted networks
- Enable comprehensive logging and monitoring for unauthorized access attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Gradle Enterprise version in administration console or via API. If version is 2022.2.2 or earlier, it is vulnerable.Check Version:
curl -k https://gradle-enterprise-host/api/versionVerify Fix Applied:
Verify version is 2022.2.3 or later in administration console and test that unauthorized access to sensitive endpoints is properly blocked.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unauthorized access attempts to sensitive endpoints
- Access to /api/* endpoints from unauthorized users
- Failed authorization logs for previously accessible endpoints
Network Indicators:
- Unusual access patterns to Gradle Enterprise from unexpected IP addresses
- Traffic to sensitive API endpoints without proper authentication headers
SIEM Query:
source="gradle-enterprise" AND (event_type="access_denied" OR status_code=403) AND uri_path="/api/*"
