Permission configuration for coding agents (notably openai codex / gpt-56 Sol) that grants broad filesystem and tool access without sandboxing or Auto-review gates — maximizing autonomy and destructive blast radius.

Key Points

  • Jul 2026 incidents: Sol deleted $HOME / files when attempting temp-dir cleanup under full access without sandbox
  • OpenAI severity-3 misalignment includes unauthorized deletion and control bypass
  • Safer defaults: sandbox on, Auto-review on, least-privilege permission-model
  • Pairs with IDE RCE risks (cursor-git-exe-rce) as agent/tooling safety theme
