A security vulnerability has been discovered in Anthropic's Claude Code tool, where source maps inadvertently exposed the full TypeScript code, including model orchestration logic and safety prompts. This leak allows attackers to understand and potentially exploit the tool's internal workings, similar to how Claude Code itself has been used to automate cyber-espionage campaigns. The incident highlights the critical need for rigorous security practices in packaging AI development tools, as even seemingly minor packaging errors can create significant attack surfaces. AI
