Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information and modify terminal or log output.
The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of escape sequences in human-readable scan output when rendering attacker-controlled filenames, file locations, messages, and code snippets. A remote attacker can craft malicious package content to disclose sensitive information and modify terminal or log output.
User interaction is required to view the human-readable output, and compatible terminals or CI logs may interpret ANSI or OSC escape sequences.
