Summary
Claude Code vulnerable to command execution prior to startup trust dialog
Details

When running on a machine with Yarn 3.0 or above, Claude Code could have been tricked to execute code contained in a project via yarn plugins before the user accepted the startup trust dialog. Exploiting this would have required a user to start Claude Code in an untrusted directory running Yarn 3.0 or above.

Users on standard Claude Code auto-update will have received this fix automatically. Users performing manual updates are advised to update to the latest version.

Thank you to Benjamin Faller, Redguard AG and Michael Hess for reporting this issue!
