[SECURITY] Use HTTPS to resolve dependencies in Maven Build

This is a security fix for a high severity vulnerability in your Apache Maven pom.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.

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.

This vulnerability was automatically detected by GitHub's CodeQL using this CodeQL Query.

You can automatically detect future vulnerabilities, like this one, by enabling the free (for open-source) CodeQL: GitHub Action.

I'm not an employee of GitHub, I'm simply an open-source security researcher for the Open Source Security Foundation.

Opting Out

If you'd like to opt out of future automated security vulnerability fixes like this, please consider adding a file called .github/GH-ROBOTS.txt to your repository with the line:

CLA Requirements

This section is only relevant if your project requires contributors to sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) for external contributions.

Sponsorship & Support

This work was originally sponsored by HUMAN Security Inc. and the new Dan Kaminsky Fellowship, a fellowship created to celebrate Dan's memory and legacy by funding open-source work that makes the world a better (and more secure) place.

This work was later sponsored by Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF): Project Alpha-Omega. Alpha-Omega is a project partnering with open source software project maintainers to systematically find new, as-yet-undiscovered vulnerabilities in open source code – and get them fixed – to improve global software supply chain security.

This PR was generated with Moderne, a free-for-open source SaaS offering that uses format-preserving AST transformations to fix bugs, standardize code style, apply best practices, migrate library versions, and fix common security vulnerabilities at scale.
