Re: RFC: (ice-9 sandbox)

[Nala Ginrut]

Hmm...I didn't think about this security issue. And even if we may do some verification in IR(say, CPS or lower level), it's insufficient to avoid security issue, since front-end implementation may use cross module function to mimic primitives for other languages.

Now I think maybe front-end writer has to write their own sandbox with (ice-9 sandbox) if any necessary. :-)

Best regards.

In theory yes, but I don't know how to make safe sandboxes in other
languages.  ice-9 sandbox relies on the Scheme characteristic that the
only capabilities granted to a program are those that are in scope.
Other languages often have ambient capabilities -- like Bash for example
where there's no way to not provide the pipe ("|") operator.  I think
adding other languages should be an exercise for the reader :)
