SCA: security update for @anthropic-ai/claude-code (GHSA-4q92-rfm6-2cqx)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437600

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 2.1.7, Claude Code failed to strictly enforce deny
 rules configured in settings.json when accessing files through symbolic links. If a user explicitly denied
 Claude Code access to a file (such as /etc/passwd) and Claude Code had access to a symbolic link pointing
 to that file, it was possible for Claude Code to read the restricted file through the symlink without
 triggering deny rule enforcement. This issue has been patched in version 2.1.7. (CVE-2026-25724)

Solution

Update the @anthropic-ai/claude-code library and its related packages to version 2.1.7 or later.
