Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Terragrunt versions before 1.0.4 can delete arbitrary files on the local filesystem during module download when a remote module contains a maliciously crafted .terragrunt-module-manifest file. An attacker who gets Terragrunt to use an untrusted module can cause deletion of files the Terragrunt process can access, which may disrupt CI/CD pipelines or lose local files. Upgrade to Terragrunt 1.0.4, which fixes the issue; until then, audit remote module sources and use only trusted modules pinned to known commit SHAs.
