Meta's Muse agent put its own 6.8GB Linux image, SSH key files included, in a user's Google Drive

Meta's Muse agent wrote 6.8GB of its own Linux environment, SSH key files included, to Mouse founder Peter James's Google Drive, he says. James has not tested the keys, yet the export shows anything baked into an agent's image can leave through a storage connector the user linked.

Escaping an uploaded filename keeps it from turning into a shell command, and it still leaves the parser reading everything the worker's account can read. A dev.to write-up draws the other boundary with Linux namespaces.

AI Employee runs secret and dependency checks in plain code before any model sees the diff

In this self-hosted pipeline, secret scans and a three-day minimum age on new npm packages run with no model call, and a branch reaches GitHub only after a human clicks approve in the dashboard. The author calls it a developer preview.

solon-ai-sandbox puts an agent's bash call inside seatbelt or bwrap without a container

The Solon AI module ports Claude Code's sandbox-runtime to Java, denying writes by default and protecting reads only where the operator names a path. Keeping that deny list current is the standing cost.

Anthropic trades 84% of Claude Code's permission prompts for a working-directory fence

Seatbelt on macOS and bubblewrap on Linux now stop the agent's shell at the folder it was invoked in and route its traffic through a domain allowlist. That is a boundary a security team can approve once.
