Debate over sandboxing standards: is 'zero possibility of escape' a realistic bar?
dromanocpm · x · 2026-10-13
- A public X debate among security practitioners over sandboxes, sparked by reports that sandboxes in the Hugging Face/OpenAI security incident were misconfigured.
- One side argues sandboxes are designed for isolation and should by definition allow no possibility of escape — that's the minimum bar.
- The rebuttal: that bar is unreasonably high, as no popular sandboxing solution used for running real-world programs currently meets it, and the challenger asks critics to name one that does.
