AI-suggested

Upgrade the anthropic-sdk-python package to version 0.87.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. No other mitigation is necessary as the fix is officially available in the updated version.

Description

The async local filesystem memory tool in the Anthropic Python SDK validated that model-supplied paths resolved inside the sandboxed memory directory, but then returned the unresolved path for subsequent file operations. A local attacker able to write to the memory directory could retarget a symlink between validation and use, causing reads or writes to escape the sandbox. The synchronous memory tool implementation was not affected. Users on the affected versions are advised to update to the latest version.
