Claude Cowork Exfiltrates Files Through Anthropic API
|
7.5
Security researcher Prompt Armor disclosed a creative workaround that causes Claude Cowork to exfiltrate files by abusing Anthropic's allowed API domain. The attack supplies an attacker's Anthropic API key and directs the agent to upload accessible files to https://api.anthropic.com/v1/files, enabling the attacker to retrieve their contents later. The finding shows outbound-domain whitelists alone may not stop prompt-injection data theft.
