CVE-2026-54574

CVE-2026-54574 affects proot-distro prior to 5.1.5. The flaw resides in extraction paths: _extract_plain_tar() (proot_distro/commands/install.py) and _apply_layer() (proot_distro/helpers/docker.py) do not validate symlink targets (member.linkname). A tar archive can plant an absolute host-path sy...

skilo add follows symbolic links, allowing arbitrary local file disclosure from a malicious skill source

Impact skilo add installs a skill by recursively copying the skill directory into the target skills directory. The copy routine copydirall classified each entry with std::fs::DirEntry::filetype — which does not follow symlinks — and then copied non-directory entries with std::fs::copy, which does...
