This is quite convoluted. Not seen in the wild and comments don't trigger prompt injection that easily.

Again you likely use vscode. Are you checking each extension you download? There is already a lot of reported attacks using vscode.

A lot of noise over MCP or tools hypothetical attacks. The attack surface is very narrow, vs what we already run before reaching Claude Code.

Yes Claude Code use curl and I find it quite annoying we can't shut the internal tools to replace them with MCP's that have filters, for better logging & ability to proxy/block action with more in depth analysis.



I know it's not been seen in the wild, which is why it's hard to convince people to take it seriously.

Maybe it will never happen? I find that extremely unlikely though. I think the reason it hasn't happened yet is that widespread use of agentic coding tools only really took off this year (Claude Code was born in February).

I expect there's going to be a nasty shock to the programming community at some point once bad actors figure out how easy it is to steal important credentials by seeding different sources with well crafted malicious attacks.
