Enterprise Security Architecture Design Explained
OpenAI Codex CLI uses a hierarchical security protection strategy to address the potential risks of AI-generated code. At the operating system level, Apple Seatbelt sandboxing technology is used for macOS, Linux environments are isolated by Docker containers by default, and Windows relies on WSL2 for similar protection. These technologies force the restriction of file system access to the current working directory and disable network connectivity by default, effectively preventing malicious code from damaging the system.
Workflow security provides three levels of approval mode (suggest/auto-edit/full-auto), which by default requires the developer to manually validate each suggested change. Of particular note is the tool's Git-aware capability, which triggers a warning when using full-auto mode in a non-version-controlled directory to prevent accidental changes from getting out of control. For CI/CD pipeline integration, it is recommended to use QUIET_MODE and JSON output to realize secure automation. These design details reflect OpenAI's deep understanding of production environment applications.
