Claude Code is an agentic coding tool. Prior to version 2.1.2, Claude Code's bubblewrap sandboxing mechanism failed to properly protect the .claude/settings.json configuration file when it did not exist at startup. While the parent directory was mounted as writable and .claude/settings.local.json was explicitly protected with read-only constraints, settings.json was not protected if it was missing. This allowed malicious code running inside the sandbox to create this file and inject persistent hooks (such as SessionStart commands) that would execute with host privileges when Claude Code was restarted. This issue has been patched in version 2.1.2.

Claude Code es una herramienta de codificación agéntica. Antes de la versión 2.1.2, el mecanismo de sandboxing bubblewrap de Claude Code no protegió adecuadamente el archivo de configuración .claude/settings.json cuando no existía al inicio. Si bien el directorio padre estaba montado como escribible y .claude/settings.local.json estaba explícitamente protegido con restricciones de solo lectura, settings.json no estaba protegido si faltaba. Esto permitía que código malicioso ejecutándose dentro del sandbox creara este archivo e inyectara hooks persistentes (como comandos SessionStart) que se ejecutarían con privilegios de host cuando se reiniciara Claude Code. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 2.1.2.
