SCA: security update for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin (GHSA-2qq7-fch2-phqf)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409052

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information
vulnerability in Maven Archetype Plugin. This issue affects Maven Archetype Plugin: from 3.2.1 before
3.3.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.3.0, which fixes the issue. Archetype integration
testing creates a file called ./target/classes/archetype-it/archetype-settings.xml This file contains all
the content from the users ~/.m2/settings.xml file, which often contains information they do not want to
publish. We expect that on many developer machines, this also contains credentials. When the user runs mvn
verify again (without a mvn clean), this file becomes part of the final artifact. If a developer were to
publish this into Maven Central or any other remote repository (whether as a release or a snapshot) their
credentials would be published without them knowing. (CVE-2024-47197)
