Released August 15, v2.1.233 fixes Windows paths written with the NT device prefix \??\ slipping past UNC path validation. It follows the Git Bash Cygwin-symlink bypass and the PowerShell variable-writing parameter bypass in 2.1.232. The same release stops nested git repositories from inheriting trust from a parent directory. Claude Code Releases Three distinct escapes in eight days on one platform is a pattern, not bad luck. Path validation on Windows has too many spellings for the same file, and allowlists keep losing to that. If you run Claude Code on Windows with allowlist-based permissions, treat anything before 2.1.233 as leaky and upgrade today.
