Release notes

Sourced from net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy's releases.

Byte Buddy 1.18.14

• Avoid exposure of the agent argument on the command line of the process that is spawned for an external attachment.
• Avoid the resolution of symbolic links when the Gradle plugin deletes a folder recursively.
• Limit the nesting depth that is accepted when parsing a generic type signature to avoid an exhaustion of the stack for a malformed class file.
• Sign all deployed files using sigstore, in addition to the existing GPG signature.
• Validate entry names when the Android plugin retains a file to avoid the propagation of path traversals.

Updates com.squareup.okio:okio from 3.18.1 to 3.18.2

Changelog

Sourced from com.squareup.okio:okio's changelog.

Version 3.18.2

2026-09-04

• Fix: Don't change behavior of base64-encoding. We introduced a bug in Okio 3.18.1 that caused base64 strings to be encoded without padding, even though the previous and expected behavior is to encode such strings with padding (= characters). The bug impacts callers who compiled against Okio releases < 3.18.0, and executed on Okio releases >= 3.18.
