Research direction

Start by reproducing the exact cfssl bundle | cfssljson -bare web-full pipeline with the reported cfssljson 1.6.3 and Go 1.18 versions, then inspect cfssljson's input parsing alongside the bundle output. Done means the command produces the expected web-full files; the payload names no source file or test to begin with.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Running the following


cfssl bundle -ca-bundle /path/ca.pem -int-bundle /path/intermediate_ca.pem -cert /path/web.pem | cfssljson -bare web-full

The call returns fine, but nothing is produced. Without piping to cfssljon I can see that the bundle does get produced.
