CVE-2026-44467
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The Claude Desktop app gives you Claude Code with a graphical interface built for running multiple sessions side by side. From 1.2581.0 to before 1.4304.0, Claude Desktop's SSH remote development feature verified only whether a hostname existed in ~/.ssh/known_hosts without comparing the server's presented host key against the stored key. This allowed a network-positioned attacker to present an arbitrary SSH host key and have the connection silently accepted, enabling a man-in-the-middle attack on remote development sessions. Successful exploitation required the attacker to be in a network position to intercept SSH traffic (e.g., via ARP spoofing, rogue Wi-Fi, or DNS poisoning) and the target hostname to already have an entry in the victim's known_hosts file. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4304.0.

"value": "La aplicación de escritorio Claude te ofrece Claude Code con una interfaz gráfica diseñada para ejecutar múltiples sesiones en paralelo. Desde la versión 1.2581.0 hasta antes de la 1.4304.0, la función de desarrollo remoto SSH de Claude Desktop verificaba únicamente si un nombre de host existía en ~/.ssh/known_hosts sin comparar la clave de host presentada por el servidor con la clave almacenada. Esto permitía a un atacante posicionado en la red presentar una clave de host SSH arbitraria y que la conexión fuera aceptada silenciosamente, lo que permitía un ataque man-in-the-middle en las sesiones de desarrollo remoto. La explotación exitosa requería que el atacante estuviera en una posición de red para interceptar el tráfico SSH (por ejemplo, mediante suplantación de ARP, Wi-Fi maliciosa o envenenamiento de DNS) y que el nombre de host objetivo ya tuviera una entrada en el archivo known_hosts de la víctima. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la versión 1.4304.0."
