Claude Code's security model has a potential vulnerability where deny rules prevent the AI from directly accessing sensitive files like .env, but do not prevent code executed by its dependencies from doing so.

These scripts, which can involve hundreds of packages, may still access files, including .env, if not explicitly sandboxed. AI
IMPACT Highlights a security gap in AI code execution environments that could expose sensitive data if not properly sandboxed.
