CVE-2026-33056: Rust Symlink Metadata Bypass
Using `fs::metadata()` instead of `fs::symlink_metadata()` to inspect a path following a directory creation error allows attackers to bypass boundary checks using symlinks. `fs::metadata()` follows symbolic links, meaning if an attacker creates a symlink where a directory is expected, the application will evaluate the target of the symlink. Use `fs::symlink_
