Node’s ubiquitous package ecosystem hides a silent menace: post‑install scripts that can read, write, and exfiltrate user data. While Deno’s permission model marks a step forward, it falls short without OS‑level isolation. The article explores how macOS’s sandbox‑exec can be leveraged to harden Node, and why the community must demand deeper sandboxing for JavaScript runtimes.

Metis Agents launches v0.6.0, introducing secure cloud-based code execution via E2B Sandbox, 36+ advanced tools, and Titans-inspired memory management. This modular framework enables developers to build production-ready AI agents with minimal boilerplate while addressing critical security concerns. The update positions Metis as a comprehensive solution for enterprises tackling complex AI workflows.

Using Docker to contain AI coding agents creates dangerous security loopholes by granting root access. A new approach leverages Linux's Landlock to enforce strict filesystem boundaries without compromising host systems—here's how it works and why developers should care.

Syd emerges as a lightweight, secure sandboxing tool for Linux, intercepting system calls in user space to isolate applications without virtualization overhead. Designed for simplicity and robustness, it leverages Linux features like Seccomp and LandLock, enabling even regular users to enforce strong security. This innovation addresses long-standing brittleness in sandboxing, promising safer development and deployment workflows.
