A flaw was found in operator-foundry. The path-containment check, designed to restrict file access within a build context, only performs string-based validation. It fails to resolve symbolic links (symlinks), allowing an attacker to create a symlink within the build context that points to files or directories outside of it. This could enable unauthorized access to files beyond the intended confinement.
