Risk
Agent Sandbox Escape via Runtime DNS or Filesystem
Description
An agent runtime escapes its execution sandbox via DNS, filesystem, or accessibility-API side channels, reaching resources outside its boundary.
Example
A Bedrock AgentCore agent uses runtime DNS resolution to reach an internal service outside its expected network scope.

Mitigation
- Harden sandbox boundaries (network, filesystem, accessibility APIs)
- monitor for boundary-crossing
- egress filtering
- runtime integrity checks.
