Claude Code Vulnerability Allows Arbitrary Command Execution via Malicious Config Files, Researchers Discover

Researchers, led by Slowmist founder Yu Xin, discovered that Claude Code contains a potential poisoning vulnerability, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands through malicious configuration files without user knowledge. In a proof-of-concept test on macOS, researchers triggered a local calculator launch following command execution, confirming the risk. If exploited, attackers could steal API keys from Claude and OpenAI, compromise cloud service credentials from AWS, Alibaba Cloud, or Tencent Cloud, and potentially pivot to internal networks.
