Agent Verify

CrewAI agent runs code outside a sandbox

HighAV-FW-003Runtime safetyFramework pack

What it finds

A CrewAI agent can execute code, and it is not set to the Docker-sandboxed "safe" mode.

Why it matters

Code the model writes would run directly on the host, with access to its files, network, and secrets.

What an attacker could do: A manipulated agent could run arbitrary code on the machine hosting the crew.

How to fix it

Set code_execution_mode="safe" (Docker sandbox), or turn code execution off for agents that do not need it.

Pro shows the corrected code for your exact file, step by step, and re-scans to confirm the fix. See plans

How it detects
Looks for a risky pattern, and stays quiet when a matching safeguard is present.

Definite: the risky setting is written plainly in the file.
