CVE-2020-11986

Summary
-------
Opening a Gradle project with Apache NetBeans executes foreign script
immediately

Versions Affected: 
------------------
- All Apache NetBeans versions up to and including 12.0

intercept/prevent the execution.

- Only open trusted gradle projects with NetBeans
- Update to NetBeans 12.0-u1
