Description
Claude Code is an agentic coding tool. Prior to version 1.0.39, when running on a machine with Yarn 3.0 or above, Claude Code could have been tricked to execute code contained in a project via yarn plugins before the user accepted the startup trust dialog. Exploiting this would have required a user to start Claude Code in an untrusted directory and to be using Yarn 3.0 or above. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.39.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in Claude Code versions prior to 1.0.39 occurs when running on a machine with Yarn 3.0 or above.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could lead to the execution of untrusted code on your machine without your explicit consent, potentially compromising your system's security and integrity. This could result in unauthorized actions or data exposure before you have a chance to approve the startup trust dialog.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, update Claude Code to version 1.0.39 or later. Additionally, avoid running Claude Code in untrusted directories when using Yarn 3.0 or above until the update is applied.
