🚀 New smolagents update: Safer Local Python Execution! 🦾🐍
With the latest release, we've added security checks to the local Python interpreter: every evaluation is now analyzed for dangerous builtins, modules, and functions. 🔒
Here's why this matters & what you need to know! 🧵👇
1️⃣ Why is local execution risky? ⚠️
AI agents that run arbitrary Python code can unintentionally (or maliciously) access system files, run unsafe commands, or exfiltrate data.
2️⃣ New Safety Layer in smolagents 🛡️
We now inspect every return value during execution:
✅ Allowed: Safe built-in types (e.g., numbers, strings, lists)
⛔ Blocked: Dangerous functions/modules (e.g., os.system, subprocess, exec, shutil)
3️⃣ Immediate Benefits 💡
- Prevent agents from accessing unsafe builtins
- Block unauthorized file or network access
- Reduce accidental security vulnerabilities
4️⃣ Security Disclaimer ⚠️
🚨 Despite these improvements, local Python execution is NEVER 100% safe. 🚨
If you need true isolation, use a remote sandboxed executor like Docker or E2B.
5️⃣ The Best Practice: Use Sandboxed Execution 🔐
For production-grade AI agents, we strongly recommend running code in a Docker or E2B sandbox to ensure complete isolation.
6️⃣ Upgrade Now & Stay Safe! 🚀
Check out the latest smolagents release and start building safer AI agents today.
