Running Claude Code dangerously (safely)

from HN - It’s impossible to not get decision-fatique and just mash enter anyway after a couple of months with Claude not messing anything important up, so a sandboxed approach in YOLO mode feels much safer.

It takes the stress about needing to monitor all the agents all the time too, which is great and creates incentives to learn how to build longer tasks for CC with more feedback loops.

I’m on Ubuntu 22.04 and it was surprisingly pleasant to create a layered sandbox approach with bubblewrap and Landlock LSM:

• Landlock for filesystem restrictions (deny-first, only whitelisted paths accessible) and TCP port control (API, git, local dev servers),
• bubblewrap for mount namespace isolation (/tmp per-project, hiding secrets), and dnsmasq for DNS whitelisting (only essential domains resolve - everything else gets NXDOMAIN).

• Claude Cowork Exfiltrates Files / HN - we demonstrate how attackers can exfiltrate user files from Cowork by exploiting an unremediated vulnerability in Claude’s coding environment, which now extends to Cowork. The vulnerability was first identified in Claude.ai chat before Cowork existed by Johann Rehberger, who disclosed the vulnerability — it was acknowledged but not remediated by Anthropic.
