NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream maven:3.5/maven-shared-utils package and not the maven:3.5/maven-shared-utils package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Apache Maven maven-shared-utils prior to version 3.3.3, the Commandline class can emit double-quoted strings without proper escaping, allowing shell injection attacks.
