Summary
A topology's `topology.blobstore.map` lets the submitter choose a local name for each blob that the supervisor localises.
That name was used to build a path under the topology's working directory without normalisation, in both `AsyncLocalizer` and `Container.createBlobstoreLinks`, and the symlink helper
force-deletes whatever already exists at the target before creating the link.
A submitter could therefore use `../` segments to direct that delete-and-symlink operation at an arbitrary path, as the supervisor user, on every node the topology is scheduled onto.
The consequences include recursive deletion of supervisor-owned content and planting a symlink that causes a subsequent worker
launch to execute attacker-chosen code as another tenant's operating-system user, which defeats the isolation that `supervisor.run.worker.as.user` is intended to provide.

Mitigation checklist
- Mitigation Upgrade to 3.1.0, where the resolved target must lie inside the expected root at both call sites.
- Users who cannot upgrade immediately should restrict topology submission to trusted principals, and may reject submissions whose `topology.blobstore.map` entries contain path separators or `..` segments before they reach Nimbus.
