What's Wrong?

The permission prompt in Claude Code Desktop now defaults to "Always allow" instead of "Allow once". Users reflexively pressing Enter silently grant permanent permissions they never intended to give.

What Should Happen?

The default action should be "Allow once" (least-privilege). Additionally, a setting (e.g. defaultPermissionAction in settings.json) should allow users to configure which action is the default on the permission prompt.

TL;DR

The default permission prompt action in Claude Code Desktop should be changed from "Always allow" to "Allow once" to ensure least-privilege access.

Guidance

  • Review the code responsible for rendering the permission prompt to identify where the default action is set and update it to "Allow once".
  • Consider adding a setting, such as defaultPermissionAction in settings.json, to allow users to configure the default action.
  • Verify the change by reproducing the steps to trigger a permission prompt and checking that "Allow once" is the pre-selected default action.
  • Test the new setting to ensure it correctly updates the default action.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific code details.

Notes

The issue is reported as a regression, indicating that the behavior was previously correct, so reviewing previous versions may help identify the cause of the change.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by manually configuring the default permission action, if possible, until a fix is released, as the current behavior poses a security risk by defaulting to "Always allow".
