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

Published Mar 31, 2026 · Updated Apr 1, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

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.
