CVE-2026-33068 Details
Description
Claude Code is an agentic coding tool. Versions prior to 2.1.53 resolved the permission mode from settings files, including the repo-controlled .claude/settings.json, before determining whether to display the workspace trust confirmation dialog. A malicious repository could set permissions.defaultMode to bypassPermissions in its committed .claude/settings.json, causing the trust dialog to be silently skipped on first open. This allowed a user to be placed into a permissive mode without seeing the trust confirmation prompt, making it easier for an attacker-controlled repository to gain tool execution without explicit user consent. This issue has been patched in version 2.1.53.
A vulnerability in Claude Code versions prior to 2.1.53 allows for a bypass of the workspace trust confirmation dialog. This issue arises because the application resolves permission modes from settings files, including the repository-controlled .claude/settings.json, before deciding whether to display the trust dialog. A malicious repository could manipulate the permissions.defaultMode setting to bypassPermissions, causing the trust dialog to be silently skipped on the first open. As a result, users could be placed in a permissive mode without seeing the trust confirmation prompt, facilitating unauthorized execution of tools from the attacker-controlled repository.
Users on standard Claude Code auto-update have already received the patch for this vulnerability. Those performing manual updates should update to the latest version.
