Doc Text:
A path traversal flaw has been discovered in llama_index. The `ObsidianReader` class fails to resolve symlinks to their real paths and does not validate whether the resolved paths lie within the intended directory. As a result an attacker who can inject paths into the `ObsidianReader` class may be able to access files without permission.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-07-07 10:01:52 UTC
A vulnerability in the `ObsidianReader` class of the run-llama/llama_index repository, versions 0.12.23 to 0.12.28, allows for arbitrary file read through symbolic links. The `ObsidianReader` fails to resolve symlinks to their real paths and does not validate whether the resolved paths lie within the intended directory. This flaw enables attackers to place symlinks pointing to files outside the vault directory, which are then processed as valid Markdown files, potentially exposing sensitive information.
