Thanks, we should probably upgrade to the latest 6.0.x version. Why do you ask, out of interest? It's an internal-only dependency of Spring Boot's Gradle plugin and should have no effect upon your application.

Thank you. It was quarantined in one of the projects I was working and builds failed. Got a waiver updated temporarily.
