How to fix?

Upgrade @openzeppelin/contracts to version 4.3.2 or higher.

Overview

@openzeppelin/contracts is a library for contract development.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. Upgradeable contracts using UUPSUpgradeable may be vulnerable to an attack affecting uninitialized implementation contracts.

Due to this vulnerability, it is recommended that all projects using the UUPS proxy pattern should initialize their implementation contracts, even after upgrading to the fixed version. An example of how to do this is here.
