Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

GHSA-c5xx-h28h-f682 affects the npm package obsidian-tc before version 1.3.1. The read access control checked the lexical vault-relative path while containment used the resolved realpath, so a symlink inside the vault placed under an allowed path could reach a denied folder that its target resolved into. Exploiting this requires a symlink planted outside the tool's normal operation, since no MCP tool creates one, and it does not allow escape from the vault root. Upgrade to obsidian-tc 1.3.1 or later, and avoid allowing untrusted symlinks inside the vault.
