Developer Audit Finds DeepSeek Harness Lacks Perfect Self-Modifying Properties
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-08-17
A developer building a software delivery and hosting platform for agents shared an audit of DeepSeek Harness. While the Cordys core is platform-agnostic and modifying the loader is feasible, the self-modifying properties are disappointing in the context of strong isolation guarantees. The goal is to host potentially hostile code, similar to a browser, but the current self-modification mechanism falls short of perfect integration with their isolation architecture.
