SCA: security update for @anthropic-ai/claude-code (GHSA-pq7j-f95f-qfcv)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474675

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 2.1.179, the Claude Code and Claude Desktop plugin
 installation flow runs git checkout for a marketplace-pinned commit without verifying that the resulting
 HEAD equals the pinned 40-character SHA. An attacker who controls a plugin repository on a Git host that
 permits SHA-shaped branch names can create a branch named after the reviewed commit, causing checkout to
 select the branch tip and install attacker-controlled plugin code. Exploitation requires a user to install
 the malicious plugin and pin it to the ostensibly safe hash. This issue is fixed in version 2.1.179.
 (CVE-2026-86063)

Solution

Update the @anthropic-ai/claude-code library and its related packages to version 2.1.179 or later.
