Security Policy

Supported Use

Devbox is designed for a single developer's trusted remote workspace. It is not a sandbox, not a multi-tenant service, and not suitable for running untrusted workloads.

Important Risks

The default docker-compose.yml intentionally enables high-privilege capabilities:

  • privileged: true
  • /dev/fuse
  • SYS_ADMIN
  • /var/run/docker.sock mounted into the container
  • root SSH login with public-key authentication

Anyone who can execute code inside the container should be treated as highly privileged on the host, especially because access to the Docker socket can lead to host-level control.

Secret Handling

Do not commit secrets to this repository. In particular, avoid committing:

  • private SSH keys
  • real authorized_keys files
  • API tokens
  • .env files with credentials
  • private dotfiles with credentials or service logins

Use runtime mounts and local ignored files for secrets.

Reporting Issues

If you find a security issue, please avoid publishing exploit details in a public issue. Contact the repository maintainer privately when possible, or open a minimal public issue requesting a private disclosure channel.
