Critical — Remove insecure sed/awk fallback parser. Now fails closed if python3 or parse_commands.py is unavailable instead of falling back to a bypassable parser. 2. Critical — Block path-based command bypass. Commands starting with /, ./, or ~/ (e.g. /bin/rm) are now rejected instead of skipped, preventing allowlist bypass via absolute/relative paths. 3. Critical — Detect command/process substitution in Python parser. Rejects $(), backticks, <(), >() with ValueError before parsing. Also handles & (background) and newline as command separators. shlex parse failures now raise instead of falling back. 4. High — Walk up to root for security config instead of only checking 3 hardcoded parent directories. Uses while loop from cwd to /. 5. Medium — Replace O(n) loop allowlist check with grep -Fxq for efficient exact-match lookup.

CRITICAL: Fix backslash bypass in parse_commands.py — \$(id) previously skipped dangerous pattern detection because the backslash escape handler skipped both characters. Now checks the character after backslash for dangerous patterns before skipping, since eval strips backslashes. 2. CRITICAL: Add > and < to _DANGEROUS_PATTERNS — commands like "echo test > /etc/passwd" were not caught because the parser only extracted base commands (echo), not redirection operators. 3. CRITICAL: Load security config from trusted locations only — .auto-claude-security.json was searched from CWD upward, allowing an attacker to include a malicious config in their repo. Now searches only: $CLAWPINCH_SECURITY_CONFIG env var, install dir, ~/.config/clawpinch/, and ~/. 4. CRITICAL: Block interpreter -c/-e flag bypass — "bash -c 'rm -rf /'" passed validation because bash was in the allowlist. Now explicitly blocks -c and -e flags on bash, sh, python3, perl, ruby, node. 5. MEDIUM: Remove redundant validate_command() from interactive.sh — _run_fix and auto_fix_all now rely solely on safe_exec_command() which has its own comprehensive validation (blacklist + whitelist). This also prevents the new redirection blocking from breaking legitimate "jq ... > tmp" auto-fix patterns. 6. MEDIUM: Remove 2>/dev/null from Python parser call — error messages from parse_commands.py were being suppressed, making debugging hard. 7. MEDIUM: Use jq -s for JSON array assembly in remediation pipeline — replaces fragile IFS=, string join with robust jq slurp mode. 8. MEDIUM: Add log_info showing which security config file is loaded, add .auto-claude-security.json.example template, clarify Claude remediation prompt for auto_fix workflow, update test suite.
