GHSA-6xx4-9wp6-65p7: skilo add follows symbolic links, allowing arbitrary local file disclosure from a malicious skill source
skilo add installs a skill by recursively copying the skill directory into the
target skills directory. The copy routine (copy_dir_all) classified each entry
with std::fs::DirEntry::file_type() — which does not follow symlinks — and
then copied non-directory entries with std::fs::copy(), which does
dereference symlinks.
As a result, a skill containing a symbolic link such as
reference.txt -> /home/<user>/.ssh/id_rsa was copied as a regular file whose
contents are the link’s target. A malicious skill source — for example a git
repository installed via skilo add github.com/<attacker>/<skills>, or a local
path — could read arbitrary files readable by the user running skilo add (SSH
keys, cloud credentials, .env files, etc.) and place their contents inside the
installed skill directory, where the user or their agent may later read, share,
or sync them.
This is arbitrary local file disclosure (CWE-59 / CWE-61, symlink following) triggered by installing an untrusted skills source.
