I took a look at <https://maven.apache.org> and AFAICT Maven does not
have any process in place to prevent forgeries or malicious code;
there does not appear to be any vetting process, though perhaps
I haven't looked far enough.
A web page from cognitect telling ‘grab source code from Maven
(com/cognitect/http-client)’, combined with going over the source
code to sniff things like ’Send ~/.gnupg to evil.com’ should be
sufficient.
For the damage the absence of a vetting process can do,
see e.g. <https://lwn.net/Articles/694830/>. The same issue
appears to hold for PyPI, RubyGems and npm.
Greetings,
Maxime.
