    Title
    OpenTofu before 1.11.4 Denial of Service via malicious zip
    Summary
    OpenTofu versions before 1.11.4 contain a denial of service vulnerability in the tofu init command when processing maliciously-crafted .zip archives for provider or module packages. Attackers can cause excessive CPU usage by controlling .zip archive content served during dependency installation, degrading system performance and preventing timely completion of the init process.

    Title
    OpenTofu before 1.8.3 Secret Variable Leaking via Static Evaluation
    Summary
    OpenTofu versions 1.8.0 through 1.8.2 do not properly restrict sensitive variables and locals when users have opted into static evaluation of module sources, versions, and backend configurations. As a result, values marked as sensitive may be exposed through these configuration elements instead of producing an error. This is fixed in OpenTofu 1.8.3, which adds explicit errors to prevent the use of sensitive values in these contexts.

    Title
    OpenTofu before 1.11.4 Denial of Service via malicious zip
    Summary
    OpenTofu versions before 1.11.4 contain a denial of service vulnerability in the tofu init command when processing maliciously-crafted .zip archives for provider or module packages. Attackers can cause excessive CPU usage by controlling .zip archive content served during dependency installation, degrading system performance and preventing timely completion of the init process.

    Title
    OpenTofu before 1.11.7 Symlink Following Path Traversal
    Summary
    OpenTofu before 1.11.7 fails to validate existing symlinks in the provider cache directory during initialization. Attackers can place a malicious symlink in a trusted working directory to cause tofu init to write provider package contents to arbitrary filesystem locations outside the working tree.

    Title
    OpenTofu before 1.8.3 Secret Variable Leaking via Static Evaluation
    Summary
    OpenTofu versions 1.8.0 through 1.8.2 do not properly restrict sensitive variables and locals when users have opted into static evaluation of module sources, versions, and backend configurations. As a result, values marked as sensitive may be exposed through these configuration elements instead of producing an error. This is fixed in OpenTofu 1.8.3, which adds explicit errors to prevent the use of sensitive values in these contexts.
