Claude Code v2.1.235

Stricter rules for policy helpers arriving over remote settings

Under the hood
Useful3 Signal3
Policy Helpers

Policy helpers pushed via remote settings must be real local executables; network paths and inline scripts are refused.

What

A policy helper delivered through remote managed settings must now be a real local executable path. UNC paths, network automounts (/net, /Network/Servers) and kernel magic links (/proc, /dev/fd) are rejected, and inline scripts are refused outright.

Details
  • Any claudeMd field inside a remote-delivered managedSettings payload is deleted before the settings are used.
  • These checks apply only on the remote-delivery path; locally installed managed settings are validated as before.
Evidence

path must not be a UNC, network-automount (/net, /Network/Servers) or kernel magic-link (/proc, /dev/fd) path when delivered via remote managed settings:

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
