There are 2 main reasons for getting this error:

1) You have a very old version of java that has expired trust certificates so java can't create https sessions.

The solution is to upgrade java to a recent version. The original poster already has java 19 so that is not the issue here.

 

2) You have been using cracked minecraft that has modified your hosts file to redirect requests to minecraft's download site to some other dodgy website.

When the forge installer tries to download minecraft you get the above error, which basically says "that's not the official download site".

Pirated versions of minecraft are not supported in this forum.

Boilerplate:

If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com  You should also read the support forum sticky post.
