Claude Code Command Validation Bypass Allows Arbitrary Code Execution

  • Disclosed: 03.12.2025
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Due to errors in parsing shell commands related to $IFS and short CLI flags, it was possible to bypass the Claude Code read-only validation and trigger arbitrary code execution. Reliably exploiting this requires the ability to add untrusted content into a Claude Code context window.

Users on standard Claude Code auto-update have received this fix already. Users performing manual updates are advised to update to the latest version.
