3Description
Gradle is a build automation tool, and its native-platform tool provides Java bindings for native APIs. When resolving dependencies in versions before 9.3.0, some exceptions were not treated as fatal errors and would not cause a repository to be disabled. If a build encountered one of these exceptions, Gradle would continue to the next repository in the list and potentially resolve dependencies from a different repository. An exception like NoHttpResponseException can indicate transient errors. If the errors persist after a maximum number of retries, Gradle would continue to the next repository. This behavior could allow an attacker to disrupt the service of a repository and leverage another repository to serve malicious artifacts. This attack requires the attacker to have control over a repository after the disrupted repository. Gradle has introduced a change in behavior in Gradle 9.3.0 to stop searching other repositories when encountering these errors.
Analysis
Gradle versions before 9.3.0 fail to properly handle certain exceptions during dependency resolution, allowing attackers who control a repository to serve malicious artifacts by disrupting legitimate repository services. When transient errors occur, Gradle incorrectly continues to the next configured repository instead of disabling the failing source, enabling attackers to intercept and redirect dependency resolution to attacker-controlled repositories. …
