Adding OWASP dependency checks to gradle builds, for continuous integration

Step 1: configure the OWASP dependency check plugin in your build.gradle.

Step 2: Add a dependency check block at the end of your build.gradle where you set up a threshold for the CVSS level that will make your build fail:

dependencyCheck {
    failBuildOnCVSS = 6 // build fails for above average severity scores
}
