Attackers can exploit this by placing symlinks in the media/inbound directory to overwrite arbitrary files on the host system outside sandbox boundaries.

Patch
2/2 CVE-2026-31990 patched in 2026.3.2 (Mar 3), GHSA-fv94-qvg8-xqpw in 2026.3.31—but release notes say only “sandbox symlink escape fix,” masking version-specific fixes. Users enabling Grok image tools may stay vulnerable, assuming one fix suffices.
Post summary
The message notes that CVE-2026-31990 was patched in two releases, but the bug fix may not cover all users, especially those using Grok image tools, implying a potential lingering vulnerability.
