Statement:

As this vulnerability is only present in community versions of the fabric8 maven plugin (4.0.0 and later) and has since been superseded by the Eclipse project JKube we would recommend any users of the fabric8-maven-plugin migrate to [JKube](https://www.eclipse.org/jkube/) there is a migration guide available [here](https://www.eclipse.org/jkube/docs/migration-guide/) to assist with this.
