NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream terraform-1.13 package and not the terraform-1.13 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

HashiCorp go-slug 0.4.0 through 0.18.2 could allow a local attacker to bypass .terraformignore exclusions and cause sensitive files to be included in Terraform slug uploads due to improper handling of Unicode normalization during path matching.
