Anthropic's Claude Cowork sandbox escape exposed macOS files and credentials

Security researchers found a sandbox escape in Anthropic's Claude Cowork on macOS, called SharedRoot, which could let an attacker read and write files anywhere on the Mac and access login credentials. About 500,000 macOS users with local Coop sessions were affected before patches, and some remain at risk. New Claude Cowork versions run in the cloud by default, but those running locally should harden configs (disable unprivileged namespaces, restrict filesystem sharing, and run the daemon with strict mount protections) to mitigate exposure.

"Critical VMware Sandbox Escape Flaws Patched Across Product Line"

VMware has released patches for critical vulnerabilities affecting VMware ESXi, Workstation, Fusion, and Cloud Foundation products, including out-of-support versions, that allow hackers to escape sandbox and hypervisor protections. The vulnerabilities, rated as severe, could allow an attacker with local administrative privileges to execute code on the host machine. VMware is urging customers to apply the patches and has provided workarounds, while also stating that it is not aware of any active exploitation of the vulnerabilities.
