PowerShell Enumeration of Claude Code Chat History
Author
Swachchhanda Shrawan Poudel (Nextron Systems)
Description
Detects PowerShell scripts enumerating or reading files within the Claude Code conversation history directory.
Claude Code stores conversation history as JSONL files under: %USERPROFILE%\.claude\projects\<hash>\<session>.jsonl
Threat actors extract these files and apply regex matching to locate high-value secrets (cloud tokens, private keys,
database passwords) before pivoting to infrastructure such as ESXi hosts via harvested SSH credentials.
