Exception is displayed when checking MySQL connector

Describe the bug An exception is displayed when checking MySQL connector dependency with 6.2.0. The exception is not displayed with 6.1.6. At this time, I have not seen this error for another dependency.

The check is still performed completely but build ends up in failure.

Version of dependency-check used The problem occurs using version 6.2.0 of the maven plugin

Log file gist I created a sample to reproduce the issue on the mysql-connector branch

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone the above mentionned repository
2. cd into dependency-check-maven-sample
3. Run mvn clean dependency-check:check

Expected behavior If the issue is on dependency-check side => no error message displayed and the dependency is correctly processed If the issue in on the NVD database side => just a one line warning telling this dependency cannot be processed

Additional context I have just seen this error while running dependency check on our company product. I will provide more data when I will have time to perform a better investigation.

I get the same issue with dependency-check-maven-plugin 6.2.0 for mysql-connector-java-8.0.22.jar. It works fine with plugin version 6.1.7.
