PKIX path building failed when maven.wagon.http.ssl.insecure=true

[karlpvoss]

Describe the bug

When executing the following command in a Dockerfile, the following SSL-related error is generated. This did not happen in the previous version of the image.

Working version of the image: sha256:c341377d25a63d3eaf3c6c896cda9d58d24f22be8707bca78dd67cc50199942a
Broken version of the image: sha256:44e7257d3763f801c5987d27b1a1ad3271c924771a56d9336e8c862362cacffc

Dockerfile:

FROM amazoncorretto:8-alpine as builder
RUN apk update && apk add maven
COPY ./pom.xml ./pom.xml
COPY ./settings.xml /root/settings.xml
RUN mvn dependency:go-offline -T1000 -Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.insecure=true -Dmaven.test.skip=true -s ~/settings.xml --batch-mode

Error:

The SSL Certificate for our internal sonatype instance is valid:

            Not After : Feb 17 00:05:22 2024 GMT

To Reproduce

See docker image and digests above. A Maven project will be needed to install.

Expected behavior

SSL errors should not be generated, and if they are, the maven flags should lead to them being ignored.

Platform information

Repository: dockerhub
Image tag: 8-alpine (amd64 and arm64)
