Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache Groovy versions 2.0 through 2.4.20 Apache Groovy versions 2.5.0 through 2.5.13 Apache Groovy versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.6 Apache Groovy version 4.0.0-alpha-1

Description The issue is related to the creation of temporary directories in Apache Groovy, where the implementation uses a superseded Java JDK method call that may not be secure in some contexts. This could potentially allow an attacker to disclose protected information. Users not using the affected extension methods are not affected.

Recommendations For Apache Groovy versions 2.0 through 2.4.20, update to version 2.4.21 or later. For Apache Groovy versions 2.5.0 through 2.5.13, update to version 2.5.14 or later. For Apache Groovy versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.6, update to version 3.0.7 or later. For Apache Groovy version 4.0.0-alpha-1, update to version 4.0.0-alpha-2 or later.
