Certificate blocked for services.nvd.nist.gov

I am running Maven builds on Windows 10 Professional that goes out to services.nvd.nist.gov to check for vulnerabilities. This evening the build failed, with a SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate issue.

This same build and access works on CentOS 6, CentOS 7, CentOS 8, and Ubuntu 22.04.

When I turn off Avast! the build works, and I can download / update my local NVD / CVE vulnerabilities databases.

My specifics:

OS
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 22H2
Installed on ‎6/‎26/‎2020
OS build 19045.4651
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

Avast!
Program Version: 24.7.6124 (build 24.7.9311.856)
Virus Definition Version: 240805-12

Can someone please look at this?

Thanks.
