Mozilla's 0DIN research has demonstrated a novel security vulnerability in Claude Code, an AI coding assistant. By embedding malicious code within a DNS TXT record, researchers were able to trick the AI into executing it as a routine setup fix. This exploit successfully exfiltrated sensitive developer credentials, including ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, AWS keys, and GITHUB_TOKEN, without triggering static analysis detection. AI
