------------------------------------
Summary: Deprecate HTTP Download & Upload (was: Deprecate http Download &
Upload)
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
