Claude Code Git push security bypassed by simple variations, hooks offer better protection

A security analysis revealed that a Claude Code deny rule for Git pushes was insufficient, as it only matched specific command text and missed several variations. When tested with a pre-push hook, all but two of the bypassed commands were stopped. A pre-receive hook on the remote server proved more effective, blocking all attempted pushes, including those that bypassed the client-side hook. The findings suggest that relying solely on command text matching for security is inadequate, and Git's hook system offers more robust protection. AI
