Elite security team benchmarks 8 AI agent sandboxes, exposing escape risks
ycombinator · x · 2026-08-11
Nebula Security audited eight open-source AI agent sandboxes for executing untrusted code. They found that AI agents can browse, execute code, install dependencies, and reach private systems from 'isolated' environments, yet many sandboxes have critical vulnerabilities that frontier models can easily exploit. The study, prompted by the Hugging Face incident, aims to highlight sandbox security risks.
