How to fix?

Upgrade com.gradle.plugin-publish:com.gradle.plugin-publish.gradle.plugin to version 0.11.0 or higher.

Overview

com.gradle.plugin-publish:com.gradle.plugin-publish.gradle.plugin is a plugin that publishes plugins to the Gradle Plugin Portal.

Affected versions of this package 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. Malicious plugins can be potentially used to perform large scale supply chain attacks.

An example of this sensitive data leakage can be found here: https://travis-ci.org/nebula-plugins/nebula-kotlin-plugin/jobs/657945740#L660-L668
