Unable to load the mojo 'war' due to an API incompatibility

Trying to build the war I get the error mentioned in the title.

I have the following versions of Maven/Java/OS.

Default locale: en_IT, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "13.7.4", arch: "aarch64", family: "mac"

I run the following command

mvn compile war:war

I get the following error
