Their agents will.
@haroonmeer they need to add: "Don't hack stuff" to the prompt, that will protect them

@haroonmeer @temptoetiam that’s also the end of parental control, I guess.

I am so glad I’m no longer in the operational security world anymore ….. these problems are going to grow exponentially* and so will the corresponding burnout.
* on top of the ongoing usual problems that should’ve been fixed / addressed 20 years ago but still haven’t.

@haroonmeer I wasn't even aware codex ran locally? I thought it was just in the browser with shitty github connections.

@haroonmeer I mean, right away the solution would be podman, not docker. Podman doesn't require root level privs to run.

@rickf @haroonmeer @TindrasGrove
Still no use case for #Ai and apparently #LLM are useless...
(I should start a file of these)

@haroonmeer I had a problem with corporate security theatre getting in the way of something I needed to do.
So I asked the corporate provided AI how to get round the corporate security theatre.
And instead of reporting me to security it gave me some code. (Which, in the nature of AI generated code, didn't actually work, but it did give me the clue necessary to write my own code which did work.)

Uninstalling the Agent is the only solution. -

Yeah it's like Cliff Stoll and sendmail all over anew (yes I'm that old). Docker frequently writes root owned files to the FS. We are a dumb species.

@haroonmeer feeling less stupid for being paranoid enough to not add my user to the docker group.

@haroonmeer at least it didn't use the latest linux exploit

@haroonmeer As a last resort it would have probably tried running the copyfail exploit.

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @stux @haroonmeer and some corps forces us to do it.

@haroonmeer but isn't the docker's `root` user mapped to a host's transient normal user?

@haroonmeer @jackeric agents are very clever. I’ve seen them try all kinds of things like this just to “get the task done.” I’ve only noticed because I put them in sandbox-exec.

@mdione @haroonmeer Docker can map to a user other than root; but it leaves whether or not it does so up to you. I'm not sure if there's some specialty lockdown config that tightens this; but by default docker doesn't even seem to intend to protect the host from the user; and leaves it up to the user whether they want any actual protection from container contents or not.

@mdione @haroonmeer Honestly, I can see the appeal of docker as a sort of web services oriented package manager; but it's terrifying to see people treating it as though it's a VM-tier isolation tool or security boundary. It's certainly not impossible to use it in ways that provide at least some protection from container contents; but the overall intent is much closer to easing dependency wrangling and keeping configs contained than to hard isolation.
