Hang on recursive terraform module

[sebastianblunt]

Description

trivy seems to hang on recursive terraform modules, even exceeding --timeout.

It also seems to happen if you have a module that references a child module such that the reference to the child module is the same as the path to the outer module relative to where trivy is run from AND the inner child module is missing. This can be reproduced with reproduction steps (2).

Desired Behavior

trivy to exit.

Actual Behavior

trivy hangs indefinitely.

Reproduction Steps

(1) Create file with contents

module "foo" {
  source = "."
}

Run trivy config .

OR

(2) A file named foo/foo.tf with contents

module "foo" {
  source = "./foo"
}

and no other files. Run trivy config . from the outer directory.
