CVE-2026-35020 is an OS command injection vulnerability in Anthropic Claude Code CLI and the Claude Agent SDK. The flaw is described as residing in the command lookup helper and the deep-link terminal launcher, where attacker-controlled input from the TERMINAL environment variable is incorporated into shell command construction and executed via /bin/sh with shell=true. Because shell metacharacters embedded in TERMINAL are interpreted by the shell, a local attacker can inject arbitrary commands. The issue can be reached during normal CLI execution as well as through the deep-link handler path, leading to command execution in the security context of the user running the CLI.
