Link with unencrypted protocol
Reports the links that use unencrypted protocols (such as HTTP), which can expose your data to man-in-the-middle attacks. These attacks are dangerous in general and may be especially harmful for artifact repositories. Use protocols with encryption, such as HTTPS, instead.
See HTTPS: Difference from HTTP (wikipedia.org).
