Anthropic’s internal source code for Claude Code was accidentally leaked, the
second such incident
in a week. The problem came down to a simple human error, and set off a scramble to contain the fallout, according to a Tuesday (March 31)
report
from CNBC.
“This was a release packaging issue caused by human error, not a security breach,” an Anthropic spokesperson said in a statement to the outlet. “We’re rolling out measures to prevent this from happening again.”
According to Axios
, security researcher Chaofan Shou identified the vulnerability early Tuesday morning in a
post
on X, comprising nearly 2,000 files and more than 512,000 lines of code. Following his post, the codebase was mirrored and dissected across GitHub.
