Description
Claude SDK for TypeScript provides access to the Claude API from server-side TypeScript or JavaScript applications. From version 0.79.0 to before version 0.81.0, the local filesystem memory tool in the Anthropic TypeScript SDK validated model-supplied paths using a string prefix check that did not append a trailing path separator. A model steered by prompt injection could supply a crafted path that resolved to a sibling directory sharing the memory root's name as a prefix, allowing reads and writes outside the sandboxed memory directory. This issue has been patched in version 0.81.0.
Analysis
Path traversal vulnerability in Anthropic Claude SDK for TypeScript (versions 0.79.0-0.80.x) allows remote attackers to read and write files outside the intended sandboxed memory directory via prompt injection. The vulnerability exploits incomplete path validation in the local filesystem memory tool, where a model supplied with crafted input can reference sibling directories sharing the memory root's name prefix. …
