- Note
- revalidated with a minimal Terraform file("../secret.txt") PoC through mapfs.WithUnderlyingRoot: Trivy v0.70.0 reads POC_SECRET from outside the scan root, while v0.71.0 and v0.71.2 block traversal with no file exists at ../secret.txt. upstream fix commit 9d91b888cf63 shipped in v0.71.0 and makes Terraform filesystem functions use a sandboxed FS without access to the underlying OS root.

How this page groups evidence
This identifier groups recorded evidence; it is not an additional CVE, independent-vulnerability count or guarantee of vendor confirmation. Fixed code, released versions, attribution and independent discovery are distinct claims. Absent metadata means not recorded, not disproved. Counting rules.
