This was deemed not a vulnerability.
Overview
org.codehaus.groovy:groovy is a language for the JVM
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Permissions. This vulnerability potentially impacts Unix-like systems, and very old versions of Mac OSX and Windows. On such OS versions, Groovy may create temporary directories within the OS temporary directory which is shared between all users on affected systems. Groovy will create such directories for internal use when producing Java Stubs (very low impact) or on behalf of user code via two extension methods[4,5] for creating temporary directories. If Groovy user code uses either of these extension methods, and stores executable code in the resulting temporary directory, then the risk is high, since this can lead to local privilege escalation. If such Groovy code is making use of the temporary directory to store sensitive information, then the risk is medium, since such information could be exposed or modified.
