AI-suggested
Upgrade the terraform-provider-ctfd to version 2.8.2 or later, where the password is no longer stored as a non-sensitive value in Terraform state. Restrict access to Terraform state files to trusted users only to minimize exposure risk.
Description
The CTFer.io Terraform Provider for CTFd versions from 0.1.5 up to but not including 2.8.2 stores the ctfd_team.password value in Terraform state as a non-sensitive value. This means that anyone with access to the Terraform state file can read team passwords without needing additional decryption. The vulnerability is fixed in version 2.8.2.
