Security Sandbox

Name: security-sandbox
Rating: 92
Author: adaptationio

Provides defense-in-depth security for autonomous coding operations through command validation, allowlists, and execution hooks.

Quick Start

Validate a Command

python

from scripts.command_validator import validate_command

result = validate_command("npm install express")
if result.allowed:
    # Safe to execute
    pass
else:
    print(f"Blocked: {result.reason}")

Use Security Hook

python

from scripts.security_manager import create_bash_security_hook

hook = create_bash_security_hook()

# Hook returns decision for Claude SDK
decision = await hook({
    "tool_input": {"command": "rm -rf /"}
})
# decision = {"decision": "block", "reason": "Command 'rm' requires approval"}

Configure Allowlist

python

from scripts.allowlist import Allowlist

allowlist = Allowlist()
allowlist.add("docker")
allowlist.add("kubectl")
allowlist.remove("rm")  # Disallow rm

Default Allowlist

python

ALLOWED_COMMANDS = {
    # File inspection
    "ls", "cat", "head", "tail", "wc", "grep", "find",
    # File operations
    "cp", "mkdir", "chmod", "touch",
    # Node.js
    "npm", "node", "npx", "yarn", "pnpm",
    # Python
    "python", "python3", "pip", "pip3", "poetry",
    # Version control
    "git",
    # Process management
    "ps", "lsof", "sleep", "pkill", "kill",
    # System info
    "pwd", "whoami", "uname", "which", "env",
    # Network (limited)
    "curl", "wget",
}

Dangerous Patterns

These patterns are always blocked:

Pattern	Risk	Example
`rm -rf /`	System destruction	Wipes filesystem
`> /dev/sda`	Disk corruption	Overwrites disk
`chmod 777`	Security hole	World-writable
`curl \| bash`	Code injection	Remote execution
`:(){ :\|:& };:`	Fork bomb	DoS attack
`dd if=/dev/zero`	Disk fill	Resource exhaustion

Hook Integration

python

# For Claude SDK integration
from scripts.security_manager import SecurityManager

manager = SecurityManager()

# Configure SDK with hooks
sdk_options = {
    "hooks": {
        "PreToolUse": [manager.pre_tool_hook]
    }
}

Integration Points

•autonomous-session-manager: Provides security during sessions
•coding-agent: Uses hooks for safe command execution
•autonomous-loop: Ensures safety in continuous operation
