Rumors suggest that China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has issued a security risk warning regarding backdoor vulnerabilities in Claude Code. The announcement notes that specific versions of Claude Code have built-in monitoring mechanisms that can send sensitive information, such as location and identity identifiers, to remote servers without user consent. Authorities advise relevant organizations and users to immediately investigate and uninstall affected versions, while tightening outbound permission controls and traffic monitoring for development tools to prevent sensitive data exfiltration.
