Programs for Secure Execution of PowerShell Commands
The following security measures can be taken when using Windows-MCP to execute system-level commands.
- Sandbox testing: Run high-risk commands (e.g., delete files/modify registry) in the test environment first, and then execute them in the official environment after confirming that they are correct.
- Order review: Configure the AI to accept only specific command templates and automatically reject raw commands containing dangerous keywords such as rm, format, etc.
- privilege isolation: Set up a separate execution account for operations that require administrator privileges to avoid using administrator privileges on a daily basis.
- Backup mechanism: Automatically creates a system restore point before executing a modification class command, example command. Checkpoint-Computer -Description "Pre-MCP Change"
- whitelisting control: Pre-whitelist common security commands in Shell-Tool to prohibit execution of unauthenticated external scripts.
- Implementation confirmation:: Manual validation of critical operations, displaying the complete command to be executed and waiting for the user's approval
By combining these approaches, you can effectively control system risk while maintaining the convenience of automation.
