SCA: security update for @anthropic-ai/claude-code (GHSA-q5hj-mxqh-vv77)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440806
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- In versions 2.1.63 through 2.1.83 of Claude Code, the folder trust determination logic used the git
worktree commondir file without validating its contents. An attacker could craft a malicious repository
with a commondir file pointing to a path the victim had previously trusted, causing Claude Code to bypass
its trust confirmation dialog and immediately execute hooks defined in `.claude/settings.json`.
Exploitation requires the victim to clone the malicious repository and run Claude Code within it, and the
attacker must know or guess a path the victim had already trusted. This issue has been fixed in version
2.1.84. (CVE-2026-40068)
Solution
Update the @anthropic-ai/claude-code library and its related packages to version 2.1.84 or later.See Also
