The special variable IFS affects how splitting takes place when expanding unquoted variables. Don’t set it globally. Prefer a dedicated utility such as ‘cut’ or ‘awk’ if you need to split input data. If you must use ‘read’, set IFS locally using e.g. ‘IFS=”,” read -a my_array’. Likelihood: LOW Confidence: LOW CWE: - CWE-20: Improper Input Validation
