CVE-2022-41574 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting enterprise. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

An access-control vulnerability in Gradle Enterprise 2022.4 through 2022.3.1 allows remote attackers to prevent backups from occurring, and send emails with arbitrary text content to the configured installation-administrator contact address, via HTTP access to an accidentally exposed internal endpoint. This is fixed in 2022.3.2.

Why this priority

High severity
Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action

gradle enterprise UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2020.4 and < 2022.3.2

Fixed in: 2022.3.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2020.4

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy enterprise || rpm -q enterprise || enterprise --version

2. UPGRADE to 2022.3.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade enterprise

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade enterprise

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 2020.4 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison enterprise sudo apt install enterprise=<VERSION_BEFORE_2020.4> sudo apt-mark hold enterprise

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list enterprise sudo dnf downgrade enterprise-<VERSION_BEFORE_2020.4> sudo dnf versionlock add enterprise

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
