Summary

sandboxed.sh through 1.3.0 by Th0rgal contains a container escape because nsenter attaches without --root. Code running in a container workspace, including code run by an agent, can resolve absolute paths on the host to read and modify host files, bypassing documented isolation. The flaw is an insecure default in resource initialization (CWE-1188). An attacker needs local access with low privileges.
