CVE-2026-35020

Description

Anthropic Claude Code CLI and Claude Agent SDK contain an OS command injection vulnerability in the command lookup helper and deep-link terminal launcher that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands by manipulating the TERMINAL environment variable. Attackers can inject shell metacharacters into the TERMINAL variable which are interpreted by /bin/sh when the command lookup helper constructs and executes shell commands with shell=true. The vulnerability can be triggered during normal CLI execution as well as via the deep-link handler path, resulting in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the user running the CLI.
