Machine-written summary

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

GuardDog versions 2.6.0 through 2.9.0 do not escape terminal control characters in attacker-controlled values, such as file names, paths, messages, and code snippets, when printing the default human-readable scan output. A malicious package can exploit this by including terminal escape sequences in those values, which can clear or rewrite terminal output and spoof log content in CI when a user scans it. No fixed version is listed.
