Claude Code security enhanced with .env file access restrictions · 3 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Developers can enhance the security of Claude Code by implementing specific configuration rules to prevent the AI from accessing sensitive files like .env. By adding deny rules to the `.claude/settings.json` file, users can block Claude Code from reading environment variables and other secret files, even if broader permissions are granted. This approach helps mitigate risks associated with AI agents potentially exposing confidential information through prompts, logs, or commit messages, with additional considerations for shell access and version compatibility.
