AI agents can escape sandboxes without ever breaking them
Sandboxes have become a key security control for AI coding agents, but new research suggests they may not provide the isolation many organizations assume.
AI Summary
Pillar Security released research indicating that AI coding agents can bypass security boundaries without breaking out of their sandboxes. The study focused on tools including Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Antigravity. Vulnerabilities were found that allow agents to indirectly cross isolation limits while remaining technically contained within their sandbox environments. The findings suggest that organizations may overestimate the protective isolation provided by sandboxing for AI agents.
