When implementing functionality to bypass security controls (like sandboxing), ensure the bypass is complete and explicit rather than just configuring existing security mechanisms to be permissive. Create dedicated code paths for unrestricted operation that truly bypass all security layers.
When implementing functionality to bypass security controls (like sandboxing), ensure the bypass is complete and explicit rather than just configuring existing security mechanisms to be permissive. Create dedicated code paths for unrestricted operation that truly bypass all security layers.
For example, instead of:
pub fn new_unrestricted_policy() -> Self {
// This still uses the sandbox with relaxed permissions
SandboxPolicy {
allow_disk_read: true,
allow_disk_write: true,
allow_network: true,
auto_approve: true,
}
}
Implement a truly separate path:
pub fn new_unrestricted_policy() -> Self {
// Explicitly use NoSandbox implementation
SandboxPolicy {
sandbox_type: SandboxType::NoSandbox,
// other fields as needed
}
}
This prevents subtle security issues where sandboxing mechanisms might still be partially active despite intending to fully bypass them.
