Zed, a code editor, has a symlink escape vulnerability in versions prior to 0.225.9 in Agent file tools ("read_file", "edit_file"). It allows reading and writing files outside the project directory when a project contains symbolic links pointing to external paths. This bypasses the intended workspace boundary and privacy protections ("file_scan_exclusions", "private_files"), potentially leaking sensitive user data to the LLM. Version 0.225.9 fixes the issue.
