Maven scan-repository fails in air-gapped environment

Describe the bug

frogbot scan-repository on maven gitlab repository in an air-gapped environment fails with an error:
[ERROR] The specified user settings file does not exist: /tmp/jfrog.cli.temp.-1705390710-539606271/settings.xml

This happens only if a vulnerability is found and frogbot attempts to resolve the vulnerable dependency.
The settings.xml file exist in repositories root directory

Current behavior

While frogbot scan-repository was executed I did monitor the /tmp directory and can confirm that the /tmp/jfrog.cli.temp.-1705390710-539606271/settings.xml did exist:

Reproduction steps

Setup frogbot to run against internal artifactory registry by adding JF_RELEASE_REPO, JF_DEPS_REPO and settings.xml

Expected behavior

Merge request should be created by frogbot

JFrog Frogbot version

2.19.7

Package manager info

Maven 3.8.6

Git provider

GitLab

JFrog Frogbot configuration yaml file

No response

Operating system type and version

Debian 11 (bullseye)

JFrog Xray version

3.79.11

Start by reproducing the scan-repository command with Maven, settings.xml, and the air-gapped Artifactory setup described in the report. Trace how the temporary settings.xml path is handled when Frogbot resolves a vulnerable dependency; done means vulnerability fixing succeeds and the expected merge request is created.
