---------------------------------------
Summary: Deprecate http Download & Upload
Key: MNG-6673
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6673
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Deployment
Reporter: Jonathan Leitschuh
Some of the most popular Java projects in the JVM ecosystem are vulnerable to a
MITM of their dependencies. This is something that build tools can help prevent.
Starting in the next release of Maven, Maven should begin warning users about
the use of HTTP to download/upload artifacts to/from artifact servers.
I believe that Maven/Gradle/SBT should require users to opt-out of the security
offered by using HTTPS to download/upload artifacts.
Here's a list of projects that were found to be vulnerable to this:

This issue will be updated later today to link to the public disclosure of this
industry-wide vulnerability.
