Claude Code Vulnerable to Command Injection via Directory Change Bypasses Write Protection

view advisory published 2026-02-06Licence: CC-BY-4.0

Claude Code failed to properly validate directory changes when combined with write operations to protected folders. By using the `cd` command to navigate into sensitive directories like `.claude`, it was possible to bypass write protection and create or modify files without user confirmation. Reliably exploiting this required the ability to add untrusted content into a Claude Code context window. Users on standard Claude Code auto-update received this fix automatically. Users performing manual updates are advised to update to the latest version. About Claude Code thanks hackerone.com/nil221 for reporting this issue!
