Claude Code Users Report Email Leakage
A macOS user reports Claude Code disclosed their account email in User-Agent headers during web searches, triggering unwanted exposure to third parties and scam emails. The issue, filed in Claude Code 2.1.318, follows similar reports involving curl requests and research sub-agents.[GitHub issue](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/107757)
This is a serious agent-security failure: prompt instructions are not a reliable boundary when the model can construct and execute outbound requests.
- –Email addresses should be blocked at the tool-execution layer, not merely marked “do not share” in context.
- –Related reports show the behavior recurring across models, platforms, versions, and sub-agents.[Related issue](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/106012)
- –User-Agent conventions create a predictable prompt-injection path for websites requesting contact information.
- –Repository activity references a proposed deny rule for tool calls containing the account email, but the issue remains open.[Issue history](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/98584)
