bug (scan): problem with Gitlab Components and the --exclude-paths parameter

[J4nni]

Hello,

have a problem importing via a GitLab Component with Kics.

My Component:"

I've also tried using the --exclude-paths parameter with ${PWD}/* or ${PWD}//. It works correctly in the CI/CD project itself, where it recognizes the exclude path during import. However, as shown below, I still encounter errors related to the 'Molecule' path."

Expected Behavior

ignore the playbook.yml finding, thats for testing in the component itself.

It is the include job in the component Project. Here it works.

The import in the .gitlab-ci.yml

Actual Behavior

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Create a Gitlab Component, like mine with exclude Paths
2. Include in .gitlab-ci.yml, create the exclude path with some bad practice ansible,terraform whatever code.
