Open Original Article ↗
NVIDIA open-sourced OpenShell: a runtime where agent fleets get kernel-level sandboxes, credentials live behind a gateway instead of in the agent's environment, and every policy change is checked by a Z3 SMT prover before a human approves it. Walkthrough of what it actually does.
🎯 Vulnerability: Remote Code Execution (RCE)
💡 Defense Fix: Avoid executing shell commands via system(). Use parameterized APIs and strict input sanitization.
