This was because lib-src/etags.c used the system(3) library function when calling the (external) ctags(1) binary.
CVE-2022-45939
GNU Emacs through 28.2 allows attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters in the name of a source-code file, because lib-src/etags.c uses the system C library function in its implementation of the ctags program. For example, a victim may use the 'ctags *' command (suggested in the ctags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory has contents that depend on untrusted input.
For Debian 10 Buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1:26.1+1-3.2+deb10u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your emacs packages.
