CVE-2026-46331: Claude Cowork VM Sandbox Escape on macOS
A sandbox escape vulnerability (CVE-2026-46331) in Anthropic's Claude Cowork allows an AI agent running inside a Linux VM to break out and access the entire macOS host filesystem with read-write privileges. Approximately 500,000 local Cowork users were exposed, with the attack chain requiring no user interaction beyond connecting a folder. Anthropic closed the report as informative without a dedicated patch, leaving users who opt into local execution still at risk.
