Claude Desktop Installation Reportedly Writes Backdoor File to Chromium-Based Browsers

Gate News message, April 21 — According to Mousy Finance CISO 23pds, Anthropic's Claude Desktop application installs a special file into all Chromium-based browsers on users' computers without their knowledge or consent.

The file functions as a pre-authorized backdoor, which, when combined with specific browser extensions, could grant attackers complete control over a user's browser. The vulnerability raises significant security and privacy concerns for Claude Desktop users.
