All, When looking at forking and updating maven-source-plugin to get rid of it's dependency on the vulnerable package - org.codehaus.plexus : plexus-utils
I found that these packages are also using vulnerable version of it. As fixing this issue would require multiple releases, can I prevail upon you guys to do a fix? org.apache.maven : maven-core 3.0 org.apache.maven : maven-model 3.0 org.apache.maven : maven-compat 3.0 org.apache.maven.plugin-testing : maven-plugin-testing-harness 2.1 org.apache.maven : maven-plugin-api 3.0 Incidentally, this vulnerability was found using the IntelliJ plugin for Snyk. These guys offer the plugin for free to open source projects. Given that you are providing a core service to half the industry, can I ask you to evaluate using it across all Apache packages as standard? Their vulnerability database is very well maintained.
