CVE-2026-103012
Description
A flaw was found in claude-code. When retrieving server-managed settings, the application prioritized a locally stored credential over an active organizational account sign-in. If the configuration server rejected the stored credential, a local user could initiate a session that bypasses the organization's security policies or applies outdated cached rules while operating within the enterprise account. This issue allows a local user to circumvent administrative access controls and policy restrictions.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated with a Low severity because exploitation requires existing local access to an environment configured with a previously saved API key and does not lead to privilege escalation or code execution. In Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces environments where the tool is distributed through the plugin registry, the risk is limited to bypassing server-managed organizational controls during an active enterprise session. Deployments utilizing file-based or host-managed policy settings are not susceptible to this credential precedence flaw.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
