CVE-2025-58373

Excluded-file disclosure via unresolved workspace symlinks

Published Sep 5, 2025 · Updated Sep 8, 2025

Improper link resolution in Roo Code before 3.26.0 allows local users to read excluded workspace files through a crafted symlink. RooIgnoreController.validateAccess checks the supplied workspace path against .rooignore rules without first resolving its symlink target, so an allowed link can reach an ignored file. Exploitation requires workspace write access and user interaction that causes Roo Code to access the link, exposing only files readable by the editor process.
