CVE-2026-82020, published August 28 at 6.8, let an attacker who could influence ingested message content direct the agent's file-write tooling to overwrite auth.json, because the guard list excluded that exact file and no path warning fired. Fixed in 0.17.0. (NVD) A deny-list of sensitive paths is only as good as the file you forgot to add, which is the argument for allow-listing writable directories instead.
