Trust Dialog Bypass via Git Worktree Spoofing Allows Arbitrary Code Execution

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.
