jira issue edit with a '-b $string' is escaping characters in the string.

I'm using a bash script to pull some directory listings from servers and update jira ticket descriptions to include those directory listings, but every dash, underscore, plus sign, and parenthesis character is having a backslash placed before it so the output in the ticket looks like this:

\-rw\-r\-\-r\-\-  1 root root   574 Oct 16 19:56 kexec\_cmd
drwx\-\-\-\-\-\-  2 root root 16384 Mar 24  2023 lost\+found

Is there any way to disable this behavior so the directory listing appears clean, without the backslashes?

Sorry - this isn't in jira-cli I don't think. I tested using a manual invocation, not through my bash script and the output looks normal.
