Some builds could be vulnerable to a local information disclosure. Remote files accessed through TextResourceFactory are downloaded into the system temporary directory first. Sensitive information contained in these files can be exposed to other local users on the same system. If you do not use the `TextResourceFactory` API, you are not vulnerable. As of Gradle 7.0, uses of the system temporary directory have been moved to the Gradle User Home directory. By default, this directory is restricted to the user running the build. As a workaround, set a more restrictive umask that removes read access to other users. When files are created in the system temporary directory, they will not be accessible to other users. If you are unable to change your system's umask, you can move the Java temporary directory by setting the System Property `java.io.tmpdir`. The new path needs to limit permissions to the build user only.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `gradle < 7.0`\n- `quarkus <= 2.2.3`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `gradle 7.0`\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **RHSA-2021:4767** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Integration Camel Quarkus 2 · released 2021-11-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:4767)\n- **RHSA-2022:4623** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat build of Quarkus 2.7.5 · released 2022-05-18 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2022:4623)\n- **Red Hat VEX** · Low · affected: Red Hat build of Quarkus, Red Hat Integration Camel K 1, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Expansion Pack · no fix planned: Red Hat Integration Camel K 1, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Expansion Pack, Red Hat build of Quarkus · updated 2026-10-09 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2021/cve-2021-29429.json)","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":22,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":22,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
