How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.maven.shared:maven-shared-utils to version 3.3.3 or higher.

Overview

org.apache.maven.shared:maven-shared-utils is a functional replacement for plexus-utils in Maven.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection. The Commandline class can emit double-quoted strings without proper escaping, allowing shell injection attacks. The BourneShell class should unconditionally single-quote emitted strings (including the name of the command itself being quoted), with {{'"'"'}} used for embedded single quotes, for maximum safety across shells implementing a superset of POSIX quoting rules.

This is a similar issue to SNYK-JAVA-ORGCODEHAUSPLEXUS-31522
