Bug Description I was asking Cluade to generate a file with fake key and secret value for my financial institution in the directory, which i would have manually populated with the real value. Claude copied the actual data from the file and displayed in the session window. I ended the session window but give user a way to not only end session but to flush out such data so it gets all cleared

Environment Info

  • Platform: darwin
  • Terminal: Apple_Terminal
  • Version: 2.1.104
  • Feedback ID: 85fb4411-364d-4cb9-a355-0422e34ba470

TL;DR

Implement a secure data clearing mechanism to remove sensitive information after a session ends.

Guidance

  • Identify the source of the sensitive data exposure and ensure that Claude does not copy actual data from files.
  • Develop a feature to flush out sensitive data when a user ends a session, providing an additional layer of security.
  • Consider implementing a timeout or automatic clearing of sensitive data after a session has been inactive for a certain period.
  • Review the application's data handling and storage practices to prevent similar issues in the future.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more information about the application's architecture and technology stack.

Notes

The solution may require significant changes to the application's architecture and security practices. It is essential to consult with security experts and conduct thorough testing to ensure the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by implementing a manual data clearing feature, allowing users to remove sensitive information after ending a session, as this provides an immediate solution to mitigate the issue.
