Claude SDK for TypeScript: Memory Tool Path Validation Allows Sandbox Escape to Sibling Directories

Published Apr 1, 2026 CVSS 4.0

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.

Users on the affected versions are advised to update to the latest version.
