📋 Description

Gitleaks through 8.30.1 contains an incorrect permission assignment vulnerability that allows local users to read scan reports because cmd/root.go creates the --report-path file with os.Create and default permissions. Unless --redact is passed, other local users on shared hosts or CI runners can read plaintext secrets and matching lines to obtain discovered credentials.
