NVD description

Docker Sandboxes sbx cp does not safely confine host-side paths to a shared workspace. A malicious sandbox can create or replace a workspace symlink so that a later user-initiated copy reads a host file outside the workspace into the sandbox or writes sandbox-controlled data to a host path outside the workspace with the invoking user's permissions.

    An AI agent sandbox is only as strong as its copy command. @Docker Sandboxes CVE-2026-103916 (via @EndorLabs): sbx cp followed symlinks, so a prompt-injected agent could reach host creds and SSH keys. Upgrade to 0.51.0. I'd add a symlink-escape test to every agent sandbox eval.
