High severity vulnerability that affects generator-jhipster
Generated code uses repository configuration that downloads over HTTP instead of HTTPSImpactGradle users were using the http://repo.spring.io/plugins-release repositories in plain HTTP, and not HTTPS, so a man-in-the-middle attack was possible at build time.PatchesMaven users should at least upgrade to 6.3.0 while Gradle users should update to 6.3.1.
If you are not able to upgrade make sure not to use a Maven repository via `http` in your build file.WorkaroundsReplace all custom repository definitions in `build.gradle` or `pom.xml` with their `https` version.e.g.Referenceshttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator?vector=AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:Hhttps://max.computer/blog/how-to-take-over-the-computer-of-any-java-or-clojure-or-scala-developer/For more informationIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:Open an issue in [https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/issues](https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/issues)
