DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Enhanced Security: Path Resolution Bypass Protection

What: Three new security checks to prevent attacks using shell expansion and directory changes

Examples that now require approval:

echo "data" > /tmp/$VAR/file.txt        # Variable expansion in redirect
cd /tmp && rm -rf important/            # Directory change with write operation  
cat file > /etc/$(whoami)/config        # Command substitution in path

Details:

  • Shell expansion detection: Regex /(?:>>?)\s\S\$/ catches variable expansion with redirections
  • Dollar sign in paths: Any file path containing $ character requires approval
  • CD with write operations: Compound commands using cd + write operations require approval
  • All checks use "ask" behavior (require approval) rather than "deny"
  • Evidence: tP1() at line 254131, TYQ() at line 253932, Fe8() at line 253997
