CVE-2021-26291 is fixed in 2 products on 1 platform, first by libmaven3-core-java 3.6.0-1~18.04.1ubuntu0.1~esm1, released April 23, 2021. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
Apache Maven will follow repositories that are defined in a dependency’s Project Object Model (pom) which may be surprising to some users, resulting in potential risk if a malicious actor takes over that repository or is able to insert themselves into a position to pretend to be that repository. Maven is changing the default behavior in 3.8.1+ to no longer follow http (non-SSL) repository references by default. More details available in the referenced urls. If you are currently using a repository manager to govern the repositories used by your builds, you are unaffected by the risks present in the legacy behavior, and are unaffected by this vulnerability and change to default behavior.
