Claude Code CVE-2026-39861:sandbox escape via symlink (github.com)
Imustaskforhelp 16 hours ago [-]
Interesting that the submission just before this is about:

Anthropic response to 1-click pwn: Shouldn't have clicked 'ok': https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48057836

This makes me think a bit more about this CVE more too.

Anthropic lately has been really trying to burn any/every good will that they have it seems. Also a bit ironical about how the most dangerous model (Mythos) which can find CVE in other projects wasn't able to find this CVE within the claude-code project itself.

And yet Mythos couldn’t find it. Whomp whomp

Mythos might be good at finding holes in an actual defined security boundary. But trying to audit Claude Code would be like trying to find the holes in Swiss cheese. Of course they’re there!

Probably it did, but just thought, “I’m saving this one just for me”

Maybe if they'd submitted each file twice instead of only once /s
