Fortify complains about external Maven schemas pom.xml

Based on the Fortify report (a static code analyzer from HP), it is clear that the following pom.xml vulnerabilities are as follows:

    <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
...

      

        
        
        
      

    

Insofar as

Misconfiguration Build: External Maven Dependency Repository . This maven build script relies on external sources that could allow an attacker to inject malicious code into the final product or take control of the build machine.

This is a somewhat false positive detection, but according to my paranoid security policies, I cannot suppress it. So now the pom.xml looks like this:

<project>
...

      

        
        
        
      

    

It still builds / compiles correctly. The IDE still recognizes the file as a valid Maven Object Model file. Nothing bad happened.

I was wondering if there is a possible scenario where this modification could cause some real problems? For example, some well-known tool or parser does not recognize this as a valid Maven project file. Thank.
