Summary
## Generated code uses repository configuration that downloads over HTTP instead of HTTPS
### Impact Gradle 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.
### Patches
Maven 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.
### Workarounds
Replace all custom repository definitions in `build.gradle` or `pom.xml` with their `https` version.
e.g.
```xml <repository> <id>oss.sonatype.org-snapshot</id> <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url> // <-- must be httpS <releases> <enabled>false</enabled> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>true</enabled> </snapshots> </repository> ```
```gradle maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/plugins-release" } // <-- must be httpS ```
