Background & analysis
In August 2025, CVE-2025-55284 was disclosed. DEV Community author xgabriel laid out the full scenario in a piece published 2026-11-05: injected instructions were planted in a source file, a coding agent was asked to inspect that file, and an API key sat in a .env alongside it. The injected text got Claude Code to read the key and send it out as a subdomain in a DNS query triggered by ping, all without any prompt. Anthropic has since fixed the issue in v1.0.4.

A write-up of CVE-2025-55284, in which injected text inside a source file got Claude Code to read an API key from a .env file and leak it through a DNS lookup triggered by ping, with no prompt shown; Anthropic fixed it in v1.0.4. The proposed fix is to run coding agents inside a dev container behind a default-deny egress allowlist, so the agent never holds secrets and open internet access at the same time.
