The vulnerability was addressed in release 2.1.53, which introduced checks to resolve permission mode before displaying the workspace trust dialog.", "description_and_impact": "Claude Code, an agentic coding tool, had a flaw in versions prior to 2.1.53 where the permission mode from settings files\u2014including the repository\u2011controlled .claude/settings.json\u2014was determined before the workspace trust confirmation dialog was shown. A malicious repository could set permissions.defaultMode to bypassPermissions in its committed settings file, causing the trust dialog to be silently skipped on first open. This allowed an attacker to place a user into a permissive mode without any visible confirmation, enabling tool execution without explicit user consent. The weakness is classified under CWE\u2011807, reflecting improper authorization or trust handling.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The CVSS base score is 7.7, indicating high severity. EPSS data is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires a repository containing a committed .claude/settings.json that sets permissions.defaultMode to bypassPermissions. The attack vector is essentially a malicious repository that the user opens in Claude Code; no user interaction beyond opening the repository is required because the trust dialog is suppressed automatically. Consequently, the risk is high within environments that accept untrusted repositories without additional verification."}}}}, "created": "2026-03-20T10:36:38.292011+00:00", "updated": "2026-03-20T10:36:38.292036+00:00", "vendors": []}
