This is a security fix for a high severity vulnerability in your Apache Mavenpom.xml file(s).
The build files indicate that this project is resolving dependencies over HTTP instead of HTTPS.
This leaves your build vulnerable to allowing a Man in the Middle (MITM) attackers to execute arbitrary code on your or your computer or CI/CD system.
This vulnerability has a CVSS v3.0 Base Score of 8.1/10.
This vulnerability was automatically detected by GitHub's LGTM.com using this CodeQL Query.
You can automatically detect future vulnerabilities like this by enabling the free (for open-source) GitHub Action.

CLA Requirements
This section is only relevant if your project requires contributors to sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) for external contributions.
It is unlikely that I'll be able to directly sign CLAs. However, all contributed commits are already automatically signed-off.
The meaning of a signoff depends on the project, but it typically certifies that committer has the rights to submit this work under the same license and agrees to a Developer Certificate of Origin
(see https://developercertificate.org/ for more information).
If signing your organization's CLA is a strict-requirement for merging this contribution, please feel free to close this PR.

POC code has existed since 2014 to maliciously compromise a JAR file in-flight. MITM attacks against HTTP are increasingly common, for example Comcast is known to have done it to their own users.
