How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 rh-maven36-byte-buddy.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-maven36-byte-buddy package and not the rh-maven36-byte-buddy package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in codehaus-plexus. The org.codehaus.plexus.util.xml.XmlWriterUtil#writeComment fails to sanitize comments for a --> sequence. This issue means that text contained in the command string could be interpreted as XML and allow for XML injection.
