Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ and the instructions on
how to report a bug at http://bugs.mysql.com/how-to-report.php

Please see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/load-data.html
Quoting from manual - LOCAL works only if the server and your client both have been configured to permit it. For example, if mysqld was started with the local_infile system variable disabled, LOCAL produces an error and more here https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/load-data-local-security.html
