The vulnerability concerned Maven versions before 3.8.1 that would follow HTTP (non-SSL) repository definitions in dependency POMs, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks. The fix was introduced in Maven 3.8.1 by Apache developers and shipped with the upstream release. The target version 3.8.8 includes this upstream fix: all three fix components are present (HTTP blocker mirror in settings.xml with blocked=true, isExternalHttpRepo() detection logic, and blocked field support in the mirror model). The fix commits (907d53ad32, fa79cb22e4, 899465aeec) were authored by hboutemy@apache.org and were already in the Maven 3.8.8 release when TuxCare onboarded it.\n\nAdvisory cross-check (dlmn): outside the affected ranges of GitHub (< 3.8.1; < 3.8.1), NVD (< 3.8.1), cve.org (<= 3.8.1), Snyk (< 3.8.1; < 3.8.1; < 3.8.1).",
