CVE-2019-10753: Incorrect Resource Transfer Between Spheres

Spotless is resolving dependencies over an insecure channel (http). If the build occurred over an insecure connection, a malicious user could perform a Man-in-the-Middle attack during the build and alter the build artifacts that were produced. If these artifacts were maliciously altered, developers using them could be compromised.
