How to fix?

This issue was patched in RHSA-2022:5096.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-efi-aa64-cdboot package and not the grub2-efi-aa64-cdboot package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The GRUB2's shim_lock verifier allows non-kernel files to be loaded on shim-powered secure boot systems. Allowing such files to be loaded may lead to unverified code and modules to be loaded in GRUB2 breaking the secure boot trust-chain.
