What is CVE-2026-34450?

The Anthropic Python SDK for accessing the Claude API has a vulnerability in its local filesystem memory tool that creates memory files with overly permissive permissions (mode 0o666). This flaw allows local attackers on shared hosts to read sensitive persisted agent state. In Docker containerized environments, malicious actors could modify these memory files, potentially altering the behavior of the model in subsequent operations. This issue affected both synchronous and asynchronous implementations of the memory tool and has been addressed in version 0.87.0.
