Semgrep identified an issue, but thinks it may be safe to ignore.
The application builds a file path from potentially untrusted data, which can lead to a path traversal vulnerability. An attacker can manipulate the path which the application uses to access files. If the application does not validate user input and sanitize file paths, sensitive files such as configuration or user data can be accessed, potentially creating or overwriting files. To prevent this vulnerability, validate and sanitize any input that is used to create references to file paths. Also, enforce strict file access controls. For example, choose privileges allowing public-facing applications to access only the required files.

Why this might be safe to ignore:

This code is part of a CLI tool where the OTA directory is explicitly provided by the user (i.e. not coming from an untrusted external source) and is only used to build a file path with a constant filename. As such, while the taint is flagged by the rule, it does not create an exploitable path traversal vulnerability in this context.
