Anthropic: path traversal

Anthropic

CVE-2025-54794 · Published Aug 1, 2025

High7.7
Fix: upgrade to v0.2.111 or later
GitHub advisory

Due to a path validation flaw using prefix matching instead of canonical path comparison, it was possible to bypass directory restrictions and access files outside the CWD. Successful exploitation depends on the presence of (or ability to create) a directory with the same prefix as the CWD and the ability to add untrusted content into a Claude Code context window.

Users on standard Claude Code auto-update received this fix automatically after release. Current users of Claude Code are unaffected, as versions prior to 1.0.24 are deprecated and have been forced to update.

Thank you to Elad Beber (Cymulate) for reporting this issue!
