Dark Reading

Three critical security vulnerabilities in Anthropic's Claude Code were discovered by Check Point Research and have since been patched. Two flaws (CVE-2025-59536) allowed malicious commands embedded in project repository configuration files — via the Hooks feature and MCP settings — to execute automatically without user consent, enabling full machine takeover. A third flaw (CVE-2026-21852) allowed API credential theft with no user interaction by redirecting API communications to an attacker-controlled server. The vulnerabilities underscore a broader risk: AI coding tools that operate with direct access to source code, local files, and credentials introduce new attack surfaces, including supply chain risks where a single malicious commit could compromise any developer working with an affected repository. Developers should update to the latest version of Claude Code.
