Claude Code v2.0.31 ·

Enhanced Sed Command Validation

Entry
JSON All of v2.0.31
EntryKind: in v2.0.31,
ChangesSection of the release

What: Significantly improved security validation for sed commands to prevent dangerous operations while allowing safe read-only usage.

How it works: The validation now uses a comprehensive whitelist approach with multiple layers:

  1. Pre-parsing flag detection - Blocks dangerous flag combinations like -ew, -we before parsing
  2. Whitelist validation - Only allows two safe patterns:
  • Print-only operations with -n flag (e.g., sed -n '1,10p' file.txt)
  • Simple substitutions with safe flags (e.g., sed 's/old/new/' file.txt)
  1. Comprehensive blacklist - Blocks 15+ dangerous patterns including:
  • Write commands (w, W)
  • Execute commands (e, E)
  • Non-ASCII characters and escape sequences
  • Command chaining with semicolons in certain contexts
  • Braces, negation operators, and other advanced features

Details:

  • Builds upon existing sed validation from v2.0.30 (function hoB at line 209135)
  • Adds four new validation helpers: Aj8() at line 209202, Bj8() at line 209245, Qj8() at line 209254, Zj8() at line 209384
  • New validation function JtB() at line 209288 replaces hoB
  • Dangerous flag combination detection in Gj8() at line 209345
  • Prevents file modification and command execution while allowing safe text processing
  • Evidence: Comparison of hoB() at line 209135 in v2.0.30 vs JtB() at line 209288 in v2.0.31
