Snyk Open Source - Snyk CLI Gradle support bug fixes

We are pleased to announce two Snyk Open Source bug fixes for Gradle support in the CLI.

With this update CLI support for Gradle will be improved as follows:

• Multiple packages with the same artifactId will be included in the dependency graph correctly.

• platform dependencies will no longer be included in the dependency graph. Platform dependencies are not regular dependencies of the project, and do not result in an artifact. Rather they control the versions of other dependencies, in a similar way to dependency management BOMs in Maven.

How will my scan results change?

Overall, this release should not lead to an increase in vulns or issues.

• artifactId change - we might find more paths in the dependency graph, but the packages and issues should remain the same.

• platform change - potentially fewer issues.

What are the next steps?

The changes are available now in the preview channel of the CLI, and will be included in the stable channel on 14 May 2025.
