CVE-2020-7599 is a medium-severity vulnerability in com.gradle.plugin-publish, published on 30 Mar 2020. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

All versions of com.gradle.plugin-publish before 0.11.0 are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File. When a plugin author publishes a Gradle plugin while running Gradle with the --info log level flag, the Gradle Logger logs an AWS pre-signed URL. If this build log is publicly visible (as it is in many popular public CI systems like TravisCI) this AWS pre-signed URL would allow a malicious actor to replace a recently uploaded plugin with their own.
