"The leak comes just days after Fortune reported that the company had inadvertently made close to 3,000 files publicly available, including a draft blog post that detailed a powerful upcoming model that presents unprecedented cybersecurity risks."
"A spokesperson said: 'No sensitive customer data or credentials were involved or exposed. This was a release packaging issue caused by human error, not a security breach.'"
"The latest data leak is potentially more damaging to Anthropic than the earlier accidental exposure of the company's draft blog post about its forthcoming model."
"The leak potentially allows a competitor to reverse-engineer how Claude Code's agentic harness works."
Anthropic accidentally leaked the source code for Claude Code, comprising around 500,000 lines across approximately 1,900 files. This incident followed a previous leak of nearly 3,000 files, including a draft blog post about a new model with cybersecurity risks. Although no sensitive customer data was exposed, the leak allows individuals with technical expertise to extract internal information. Claude Code is a key product for Anthropic, and the leak could enable competitors to reverse-engineer its functionalities, particularly the software harness that governs its behavior.
