Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Provision of Specified Functionality in the cut process when the -s (only-delimited) flag is used together with the -z (null-terminated) and -d '' (empty delimiter) options. An attacker can cause the utility to emit the entire record plus a NUL byte instead of suppressing it by leveraging this specific combination, potentially leading to data integrity issues in automated pipelines that rely on filtering undelimited data.
