> Maven junction plugin security threat
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-4732
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4732
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build System
> Reporter: Maximilian Michels
> Assignee: Maximilian Michels
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.2.0, 1.1.3
>
>
> We use the Maven Junction plugin
> http://pyx4j.com/pyx4j-maven-plugins/maven-junction-plugin/introduction.html
> to create a symbolic link to the build directory. On Windows, the plugin
> downloads an executable from the author's homepage which may be modified by
> an attacker. The plugin has not been updated since 2007 and the maintainer
> has not shown interest to fix the issue.
> I propose to remove the plugin while this security threat persists.
