How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-common to version 2.10.2, 3.2.4, 3.3.3 or higher.

Overview

org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-common is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution via the FileUtil.unTar() API due to improper escape of the input file name before it passed to the shell.

Note:

In vulnerable 3.3.x versions FileUtil.unTar() is used through InMemoryAliasMap.completeBootstrapTransfer, which is only ever run by a local user.
