Claude Code TOCTOU: Approval for One Target Cannot Follow the Agent to Another

A Claude Code Computer Use authorization bypass showed why approval must remain bound to the actual recipient of each effect.

The development

CodeAnt reported that an approved composite action could continue after focus moved from an approved application to an unapproved terminal.

The authority gap

Approval of one recipient or effect is not transferable to another. A material target change invalidates the approval.

The Authrizd approach

Authrizd binds approval to principal, mandate, target, operation, material parameters, constraints, expiry and an exact-effect commitment.

Enterprise implication

AI capability should not silently expand enterprise authority. Consequential effects should be independently adjudicated and evidenced before execution.

NEXT STEP

Put enterprise authority ahead of consequential action.
