high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437597

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Claude Code is an agentic coding tool. Prior to version 2.0.55, Claude Code failed to properly validate
commands using piped sed operations with the echo command, allowing attackers to bypass file write
restrictions. This vulnerability enabled writing to sensitive directories like the .claude folder and
paths outside the project scope. Exploiting this required the ability to execute commands through Claude
Code with the "accept edits" feature enabled. This issue has been patched in version 2.0.55.
