An authenticated remote user could read arbitrary files on the cluster-manager EC2 instance by replacing their SSH private key file (~/.ssh/id_rsa) with a symbolic link targeting any file on the host. Because the cluster-manager process runs as root, any file readable by root is exposed, including other users' SSH private keys and application configuration secrets.\n\n\n\nIt's recommended to upgrade to RES version 2026.06."

Un usuario remoto autenticado podría leer archivos arbitrarios en la instancia EC2 de cluster-manager al reemplazar su archivo de clave privada SSH (~/.ssh/id_rsa) con un enlace simbólico que apunte a cualquier archivo en el host. Debido a que el proceso cluster-manager se ejecuta como root, cualquier archivo legible por root queda expuesto, incluyendo las claves privadas SSH de otros usuarios y los secretos de configuración de la aplicación.\n\nSe recomienda actualizar a la versión 2026.06 de RES."
