CVE-2022-4244: Codehaus-Plexus Plexus-Utils

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

By manipulating files with "dot-dot-slash (../)" sequences and their variations or by using absolute file paths, it may be possible to access arbitrary files and directories stored on the file system, including application source code, configuration, and other critical system files.
