CVE-2026-46406
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Claude Code is an agentic coding tool. From 2.1.59 until 2.1.128, the Claude Code /copy command wrote responses to a hardcoded, predictable path (/tmp/claude/response.md) without UID isolation, randomness, or symlink protection. The file was created world-readable (0644) in a world-traversable directory (0755), allowing any local user to read a privileged user's Claude response, which could contain secrets or credentials. Additionally, because the path was static and predictable, a local attacker could pre-create the directory and plant a symlink at the expected file path, causing the privileged process to follow the symlink and overwrite an attacker-chosen file with the response text. Exploiting this required a local unprivileged user on the same system and a privileged user to run the /copy command. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.128.

"value": "Claude Code es una herramienta de codificación agéntica. Desde la versión 2.1.59 hasta la 2.1.128, el comando /copy de Claude Code escribía las respuestas en una ruta codificada de forma rígida y predecible (/tmp/claude/response.md) sin aislamiento de UID, aleatoriedad o protección contra enlaces simbólicos. El archivo se creaba con permisos de lectura para todos (0644) en un directorio transitable por todos (0755), lo que permitía a cualquier usuario local leer la respuesta de Claude de un usuario privilegiado, que podría contener secretos o credenciales. Además, debido a que la ruta era estática y predecible, un atacante local podría pre-crear el directorio y colocar un enlace simbólico en la ruta de archivo esperada, haciendo que el proceso privilegiado siguiera el enlace simbólico y sobrescribiera un archivo elegido por el atacante con el texto de la respuesta. Explotar esto requería un usuario local sin privilegios en el mismo sistema y un usuario privilegiado para ejecutar el comando /copy. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la versión 2.1.128."
