Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs via tools.exec.safeBins. An attacker can access sensitive files from the working directory by supplying a pattern input through the -e or --regexp flag and providing a filename as a positional argument.

Note: This is only exploitable if grep is explicitly included in the tools.exec.safeBins configuration and the attacker can invoke exec tooling under that profile.
