Claude Code introduces plugin system with significant user permissions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Claude Code, a development environment, has introduced a new feature called 'Claude Mods' that allows users to install plugins written in JavaScript or TypeScript. These mods operate with the same permissions as the user who installed them, meaning they can access files, run processes, and make network requests. Developers are advised to carefully review the source code of any mod before installation, using tools like `claude plugin validate`, to understand its capabilities and potential security implications.
