Vulnerability description

DayBreach CVE AI Research

CVE-2020-17521 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.

Apache Groovy provides extension methods to aid with creating temporary directories.

Users not using the extension methods mentioned in the advisory are not affected, but may wish to read the advisory for further details. Versions Affected: 2.0 to 2.4.20, 2.5.0 to 2.5.13, 3.0.0 to 3.0.6, and 4.0.0-alpha-1. Fixed in versions 2.4.21, 2.5.14, 3.0.7, 4.0.0-alpha-2.
