The same page names practical mitigations. Before scripting a noninteractive run over a repository nobody on the team wrote, review its .claude settings files, start the run in bare mode or turn hooks off for that run. Administrators can also use the managed-hooks-only setting so that user, project, local and plugin hooks are blocked. Which of these fits depends on the organization’s tooling, and each should be tested rather than assumed.
For a proposed setup hook, the reviewer should be able to trace the command to its script and dependencies. If the script downloads another program, determine how that program is selected and verified. If it reads credentials or accesses the network, ask why the setup step needs those capabilities.
These questions should accompany the change while its author can explain the intent. Discovering them after distribution leaves every affected developer to make an individual trust decision.
