SCA: security update for @nx/gradle, @nx/maven (GHSA-qm8w-vx34-5j9j)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 478028

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Nx is a monorepo solution for TypeScript and polyglot codebases. From 22.0.2 until 22.7.9 and 23.1.2 for
 @nx/maven, and from 21.0.0 until 22.7.9 and 23.1.2 for @nx/gradle, the plugins' project-graph analyzers
 launch through a shell and interpolate plugin options from nx.json into command arguments. The @nx/maven
 targetNamePrefix value and arbitrary @nx/gradle option names or values can therefore be interpreted as
 shell syntax whenever an nx command constructs the project graph. A user who runs Nx in an attacker-
 controlled repository or pull request can execute injected commands with the user's privileges, while
 workspaces that register neither affected plugin are not exposed to this path. Remediation requires
 upgrading both nx and each affected plugin to matching releases because the plugin fix depends on code in
 the nx package. This issue is fixed in versions 22.7.9 and 23.1.2. (CVE-2026-119282)

Solution

Update the @nx/gradle library and its related packages to version 22.7.9 or later.
