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.

Regards

Bradley Atkins
