Report: CVE-2026-33068 - Claude Code has a Workspace Trust Dialog Bypass via Repo-Controlled Settings File
CVE ID :CVE-2026-33068 Published : March 20, 2026, 9:16 a.m. | 50 minutes ago 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. Severity: 7.7 | HIGH Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more...
