In versions prior to 7.2, start scripts generated by the `application` plugin and the `gradlew` script are both vulnerable to arbitrary code execution when an attacker is able to change environment variables for the user running the script. This may impact those who use `gradlew` on Unix-like systems or use the scripts generated by Gradle in thieir application on Unix-like systems. For this vulnerability to be exploitable, an attacker needs to be able to set the value of particular environment variables and have those environment variables be seen by the vulnerable scripts. This issue has been patched in Gradle 7.2 by removing the use of `eval` and requiring the use of the `bash` shell. There are a few workarounds available. For CI/CD systems using the Gradle build tool, one may ensure that untrusted users are unable to change environment variables for the user that executes `gradlew`. If one is unable to upgrade to Gradle 7.2, one may generate a new `gradlew` script with Gradle 7.2 and use it for older versions of Gradle. Fpplications using start scripts generated by Gradle, one may ensure that untrusted users are unable to change environment variables for the user that executes the start script. A vulnerable start script could be manually patched to remove the use of `eval` or the use of environment variables that affect the application\u0027s command-line. If the application is simple enough, one may be able to avoid the use of the start scripts by running the application directly with Java command."

En versiones anteriores a la 7.2, los scripts de inicio generados por el plugin `application` y el script `gradlew` son vulnerables a la ejecuci\u00f3n de c\u00f3digo arbitrario cuando un atacante es capaz de cambiar las variables de entorno del usuario que ejecuta el script. Esto puede afectar a aquellos que utilizan `gradlew` en sistemas tipo Unix o utilizan los scripts generados por Gradle en su aplicaci\u00f3n en sistemas tipo Unix. Para que esta vulnerabilidad sea explotable, un atacante debe ser capaz de establecer el valor de determinadas variables de entorno y hacer que esas variables de entorno sean vistas por los scripts vulnerables. Este problema ha sido parcheado en Gradle 7.2 eliminando el uso de `eval` y requiriendo el uso del shell `bash`. Hay algunas soluciones disponibles. Para los sistemas CI/CD que utilizan la herramienta de construcci\u00f3n Gradle, se puede asegurar que los usuarios no confiables no puedan cambiar las variables de entorno para el usuario que ejecuta `gradlew`. Si no se puede actualizar a Gradle 7.2, se puede generar un nuevo script `gradlew` con Gradle 7.2 y utilizarlo para versiones anteriores de Gradle. En las aplicaciones que utilizan scripts de inicio generados por Gradle, se puede asegurar que los usuarios no confiables no puedan cambiar las variables de entorno del usuario que ejecuta el script de inicio. Un script de inicio vulnerable podr\u00eda ser parcheado manualmente para eliminar el uso de `eval` o el uso de variables de entorno que afectan a la l\u00ednea de comandos de la aplicaci\u00f3n.
