China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said its Network Security Threat and Vulnerability Database (NVDB) detected a backdoor vulnerability in AI coding tool Claude Code and characterized the risk as serious. Claude Code, developed by US firm ANTHROPIC, can autonomously generate and repair code from text prompts. NVDB said the tool contains a built-in monitoring mechanism that can transmit sensitive data — including user location and identity markers — to remote servers without user consent. Affected versions: 2.1.91–2.1.196.
