Security Architecture Design for Cua
Cua achieves system-level security isolation through sandboxing technology:
- Each virtual machine runs in a separate sandbox, using Apple's system-level virtualization technology to provide hardware isolation.
- All operations of the AI agent (including web browsing, code execution, etc.) are restricted to the sandbox and do not affect the host system files.
- Especially good for running unverified code or testing potentially dangerous applications.
The security design also includes: disk image encryption, network access control and least privilege principles. Users have the flexibility to manage the virtual machine lifecycle through the lume CLI tool.
