Severity: Low
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Versions Affected:
Description: As part of a broader research, the Snyk Security Research Team discovered an arbitrary file write generic vulnerability, that can be achieved using a specially crafted zip (or bzip2, gzip, tar, xz, war) archive, that holds path traversal filenames. So when the filename gets concatenated to the target extraction directory, if the extraction tool used does not make sufficient checks, the final path ends up outside of the target folder. The affected plugins use plexus-archiver to unpack dependencies to disk and have been identified as potential triggers for exposing the vulnerability if dependencies are compromised.
See full description for more details.

Severity: Medium
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Versions Affected:
Description: Apache Maven 3.0.4 (with Apache Maven Wagon 2.1) has introduced a non-secure SSL mode by default. This mode disables all SSL certificate checking, including: host name verification , date validity, and certificate chain. Not validating the certificate introduces the possibility of a man-in-the-middle attack.
All users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Maven 3.0.5 and Apache Maven Wagon 2.4.

Severity: Medium
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Versions Affected:
Description: http/conn/ssl/AbstractVerifier.java in Apache Commons HttpClient before 4.2.3 does not properly verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a certificate with a subject that specifies a common name in a field that is not the CN field.
Users of this provider are recommended to upgrade to Apache Maven Wagon :: WebDAV Provider 3.0.0
