CVE-2026-41686: Claude SDK for TypeScript has Insecure Default File Permissions in Local Filesystem Memory Tool
(updated )
The BetaLocalFilesystemMemoryTool in the Anthropic TypeScript SDK created memory files and directories using the Node.js default modes (0o666 for files, 0o777 for directories), leaving them world-readable on systems with a standard umask and world-writable in environments with a permissive umask such as many Docker base images. A local attacker on a shared host could read persisted agent state, and in containerized deployments could modify memory files to influence subsequent model behavior.
Users on the affected versions are advised to update to the latest version.
Claude SDK thanks lucasfutures for the report.
