Load read files via package-level os.ReadFile on a path joined from l.Root and a caller-supplied relative path, which gosec flags as G304 (CWE-22) since it can't verify the existing filepath.Rel escape check. Open cfg.Root once with os.OpenRoot in New and read through root.ReadFile, so the OS enforces containment as a backstop to the explicit check (kept as-is, since os.Root's own escape error is an unexported sentinel we can't errors.Is against for the ErrNotFound contract existing tests depend on).

Preserve the public FileLoader construction contract.
FileLoader previously had the same underlying structure as Config, and New used FileLoader(cfg). The added unexported root field breaks that conversion for existing callers. A direct or zero-value FileLoader also reaches l.root.ReadFile with a nil root and can panic.
If external callers use FileLoader, preserve the existing construction path or make the breaking change explicit through New. Add a downstream compile test.

GO-2026-4970 os.Root trailing slash symlink vulnerability fixed Go 1.25.12 1.26.5
💡 Result:
GO-2026-4970 is a security vulnerability (CVE-2026-39822) identified in the Go programming language's os.Root functionality on Unix systems [1][2][3]. The flaw allowed for a root escape: when a path provided to an os.Root operation ended in a trailing slash and the final path component was a symbolic link, the system would incorrectly follow that symlink even if it pointed to a location outside the defined root directory [1][4][5]. This issue was addressed in the Go 1.25.12 and 1.26.5 releases [6][5]. The fix involves sanitizing the path parameters to properly handle trailing slashes and ensuring that symbolic link resolution behavior is restricted to stay within the intended root [4][7][5]. The os.Root API, which was introduced in Go 1.24, is the only component affected; programs that do not utilize this API remain unaffected [8].

Use a patched Go toolchain for the confinement guarantee.
The module declares go 1.26, but this does not require Go 1.26.5 or later. On older affected releases, root.ReadFile(path) can follow a final symlink outside the root when path ends with /. Use Go 1.25.12+, Go 1.26.5+, or a patched Go 1.27 release. Add a regression test for this case.
