@immi543 - We strongly urge you to upgrade to JDK11. Its not going to be possible to keep patching earlier released version of TestNG with security vulnerability fixes. Today there is one, there's going to be more tomorrow and its not going to be possible for us to keep doing this.

On the other side, unless and until you are using the -testjar option of TestNG wherein you are building a fat jar of your tests and then passing that jar as parameter to TestNG for execution, you are NOT exposed to any security vulnerability.

If you are still looking for 7.5 support with JDK8, then I would suggest that you follow this PR #2899
