UnverifiedBefore the fix, recursive deletion commands like rm -rf "$(pwd)" whose targets came solely from command substitution output would execute silently without prompting in auto mode and --dangerously-skip-permissions mode; after the fix, the user will be actively asked even if a Bash allow rule exists, unless CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_SUBSTITUTION_RM_PROMPT=1 is set.73% similarUnverifiedUnder bypassPermissions mode or shell allow rules, dangerous rm commands targeting the root directory or home directory inside bash -c or sh -c scripts previously ran without prompting; this has been fixed to prompt first (corresponding to issue #96300).63% similarUnverifiedIn Git Bash, rm -rf /c/Users/<name> previously would not prompt in bypass permissions mode; this has been corrected.53% similar
