Claude Code v2.1.207: Auto Mode GA on Cloud Providers, Security Fix
Anthropic
Claude Code v2.1.207 (July 11) makes auto mode generally available on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry without the previous CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE opt-in flag, and changes the default model on those providers to Claude Opus 4.8. A shell-injection vulnerability was patched: ${user_config.*} expansions in shell-form plugin commands are now rejected.
Why it matters
Auto mode GA on all three major cloud providers removes a manual feature-flag barrier; the shell-injection fix closes a privilege-escalation path for malicious plugin commands.
Importance: 2/5
