Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It is indirectly exploitable in the sense that an attacker does not need direct shell access; they only need the ability to inject or control content that reaches the Claude Code context window. However, the actual commands run on the local developer environment where Claude Code executes.

What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this issue?

An attacker must be able to introduce or manipulate untrusted content that Claude Code will consider as part of its context—such as project files, shared workspace content, or text a user pastes in—so that the flawed parsing around the `find` command can be triggered.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this kind of vulnerability?

The safest pattern is to ensure strict separation between data and commands: use structured, argument-based execution APIs; apply strong validation and escaping to any variable parts; and bind user confirmation to the final, sanitized command representation that cannot change before execution.
