  "summary" : "Claude Code: Plugin Hash Pin Bypass Allows Bypass of Hash Pinning",
  "details" : "The plugin install flow in Claude Code and Claude Desktop checked out a marketplace's pinned commit SHA using `git checkout` without verifying that the resulting HEAD matched the pinned SHA. An attacker controlling a plugin's upstream repository could create a branch named identically to the pinned 40-character SHA, causing the checkout to silently resolve to the attacker's branch tip instead of the reviewed commit, resulting in attacker-controlled code being installed bypassing the pinned hash. Exploitation required a user to install a malicious plugin, pin to a safe hash, and for the plugin source to be hosted on a git host that permitted SHA-shaped branch names.\n\nUsers on standard Claude Code auto-update have received this fix already. Users performing manual updates are advised to update to the latest version.\n\nThank you to Or Nevo Michrowski of Air Security for reporting this issue.",
