Claude Code: Trust Dialog Bypass via Git Worktree Spoofing Allows Arbitrary Code Execution

  • Disclosed: 24.04.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Claude Code used the git worktree commondir file when determining folder trust but did not validate its contents. By crafting a repository with a commondir file pointing to a path the victim had previously trusted, an attacker could bypass the trust dialog and immediately execute malicious hooks defined in .claude/settings.json. Exploiting this required the victim to clone a malicious repository and run Claude Code within it, and for the attacker to know or guess a path the victim had already trusted.

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

Claude Code thanks hackerone.com/masato_anzai for reporting this issue.
