DescriptionGitHub Advisory
The Claude SDK for Python provides access to the Claude API from Python applications. From version 0.86.0 to before version 0.87.0, the local filesystem memory tool in the Anthropic Python SDK created memory files with mode 0o666, 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. Both the synchronous and asynchronous memory tool implementations were affected. This issue has been patched in version 0.87.0.
AnalysisAI
Anthropic Python SDK versions 0.86.0 to before 0.87.0 create memory files with overly permissive file permissions (0o666), allowing local attackers to read persisted agent state or modify memory files to influence model behavior on shared hosts and Docker environments. The vulnerability affects both synchronous and asynchronous memory tool implementations and has been patched in version 0.87.0; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at the time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability exists in the local filesystem memory tool component of the Anthropic Python SDK, which persists agent memory state to disk. The root cause is improper file mode specification (CWE-276: Incorrect Default Permissions) when creating these memory files. On Unix-like systems with standard umask (typically 0o022), files created with mode 0o666 become world-readable despite the umask; in permissive environments such as Docker base images with umask 0o000, these files become world-writable. This allows any local process running as a different user (but with file system access) to read or modify the persisted memory files. The CPE for affected product is cpe:2.4:a:anthropic:anthropic-sdk-python:*:*:*:*:*:python:*. Both the sync and async implementations of the memory tool were affected, indicating the vulnerability existed at a fundamental level in the file creation logic rather than isolated to one code path.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Anthropic Python SDK version 0.87.0 or later. The patched version corrects file mode creation to use restrictive permissions (0o600 or equivalent) rather than 0o666, ensuring memory files are readable and writable only by the owning process. For users unable to immediately upgrade, review deployment architecture to restrict file system access to trusted users only and verify that shared host or container configurations do not expose memory file directories to unprivileged accounts. The upstream fix is documented in commit 715030ceb4d6dd8d3546e999c680e29532bf1255 available at https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python/commit/715030ceb4d6dd8d3546e999c680e29532bf1255.
