That is usually caused by unburned fuel being dumped into the exhaust system due to the engine misfiring. Is it running poorly? Anything suspicious in codes or live data?

The car should not be driven until the problem is fixed.

either the exhaust is super rich, or the cat has failed and clogged up.

Or both.
