Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Other
Apache Maven will follow repositories that are defined in a dependency’s
Project Object Model (pom) which may be surprising to some users, resulting in
potential risk if a malicious actor takes over that repository or is able to
insert themselves into a position to pretend to be that repository. Maven is
changing the default behavior in 3.8.1+ to no longer follow http (non-SSL)
repository references by default. If you are currently using a repository
manager to govern the repositories used by your builds, you are unaffected by
the risks present in the legacy behavior, and are unaffected by this
vulnerability and change to default behavior.
