How to fix?

Upgrade @openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable to version 4.9.3 or higher.

Overview

@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable is a Secure Smart Contract library for Solidity.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output. Contracts using ERC2771Context along with a custom trusted forwarder may see _msgSender return address(0) in calls that originate from the forwarder with calldata shorter than 20 bytes.

Note:

This can lead to unintended consequences or incorrect behavior in smart contracts that rely on the accurate identification of the sender.
