Anthropic's Claude Desktop App Installs Undisclosed Native Messaging Bridge

A Hacker News discussion says Claude Desktop appears to use a native messaging bridge that was not clearly disclosed.

The bridge can connect a browser to a local Claude instance and local tools, which raises security concerns.

Undisclosed native messaging could let a browser trigger commands on a user’s machine, increasing risk.

The issue has prompted questions about Anthropic’s transparency and disclosure practices for local AI apps.
