Skill-install path-traversal fix reaches stable in v0.49.0 (channel: tagged-release, 2026-06-25). Operator consequence: The path-traversal vulnerability in skill install/link/uninstall (PR #27767, merge bca5667) that was pending last window is now shipped in a stable release. Malicious SKILL.md frontmatter names (e.g. ‘..’), traversal sequences during remote skill clone/extract, and fragile prefix-match uninstall could previously escape the target directory; the fix replaces startsWith checks with path.relative validation. Operators running skills from untrusted sources should upgrade to v0.49.0 or later. Full receipted detail lives in harvest/watchlist.md.
