How to Fix CVE-2024-48964

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Snyk gradle plugin dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

snyk-gradle-plugin fixed: 4.5.0 
npm install snyk-gradle-plugin@4.5.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls snyk-gradle-plugin

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-48964, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls snyk-gradle-plugin

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Snyk gradle plugin in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.5.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls snyk-gradle-plugin command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an os command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended os command when it is sent to a downstream component. In Snyk gradle plugin, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

The Snyk gradle plugin is vulnerable to Code Injection when scanning an untrusted Gradle project. The vulnerability can be triggered if Snyk test is run inside the untrusted project due to the improper handling of the current working directory name. Snyk recommends only scanning trusted projects.
