Summary
Claude Code Command Validation Bypass Allows Arbitrary Code Execution
Details

Due to errors in parsing shell commands related to $IFS and short CLI flags, it was possible to bypass the Claude Code read-only validation and trigger arbitrary code execution. Reliably exploiting this requires the ability to add untrusted content into a Claude Code context window.

Users on standard Claude Code auto-update have received this fix already. Users performing manual updates are advised to update to the latest version.
