The comic continues explaining why the sandbox was vulnerable.
- The sandbox itself could not connect to the internet.
- It could, however, request packages through a proxy that fetched tools from the web and passed them in.
- That proxy was the sandbox’s only link to the outside world, which made it central to the attack path.
