Codex CLI's Multi-Level Security Solution
The OpenAI Codex CLI provides a triple security mechanism:
- sandbox environment: security isolation is enabled by default, macOS uses Apple Seatbelt technology, Linux restricts filesystem/network access via Docker containers
- privilege control::
- Network protection: network calls are disabled by default to prevent malicious requests
- Directory restriction: limited to operating on the current working directory files only
- Installation protection: recommended Docker method
./run_in_container.sh(of a computer) run
- Approval model: Provide three levels of change control:
- Suggest mode (default): manual validation of each modification
- auto-edit: Automatically handles file changes but confirms command execution.
- full-auto: full-auto needs to be used with caution
Recommended solution: First-time users should keep the default mode of suggest, which can be accessed via thecodex --approval-mode suggestExplicit settings.
