2026-10-24-claude-code-plugin4shell-reaches-the-global-advisory-database-after-the-repository-disclosure
Plugin4Shell reaches the global advisory database after the repository disclosure. GitHub’s global advisory record was published at 2026-10-15T20:22:07Z and updated one second later. Repository disclosure remains 9 October. A malicious plugin upstream could replace a reviewed commit with attacker-controlled code by supplying a branch named like the commit hash; the fixed build remains 2.1.179.
Channel: tagged-release. Half: defect. Date: 2026-10-15.
Operator consequence: Inventory manually pinned older installations and plugin sources against the fixed build. Treat the later database entry as disclosure visibility, not a second vulnerability or October patch. A repository-only advisory scan does not cover later global indexing.
