[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-4732) Maven junction plugin security
threat
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4732?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15544870#comment-15544870 ]

[FLINK-4732] remove maven junction plugin
On Windows, the plugin may download code from the author's web
site. The downloaded file is not signed in the same way as Maven
artifacts from Maven central which have to be signed with the
developer's key. This could be a potential target for attackers.

> Key: FLINK-4732
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4732
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build System
> Reporter: Maximilian Michels
> Assignee: Maximilian Michels
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.2.0, 1.1.3
>
>
> We use the Maven Junction plugin http://pyx4j.com/pyx4j-maven-plugins/maven-junction-plugin/introduction.html to create a symbolic link to the build directory. On Windows, the plugin downloads an executable from the author's homepage which may be modified by an attacker. The plugin has not been updated since 2007 and the maintainer has not shown interest to fix the issue.
> I propose to remove the plugin while this security threat persists.
