What is CVE-2026-24052?

CVE-2026-24052 is a high-severity vulnerability in anthropics claude-code, published on 3 Feb 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

Claude Code is an agentic coding tool. Prior to version 1.0.111, Claude Code contained insufficient URL validation in its trusted domain verification mechanism for WebFetch requests. The application used a startsWith() function to validate trusted domains (e.g., docs.python.org, modelcontextprotocol.io), this could have enabled attackers to register domains like modelcontextprotocol.io.example.com that would pass validation. This could enable automatic requests to attacker-controlled domains without user consent, potentially leading to data exfiltration. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.111.

Weakness: CWE-601
