Summary
Incomplete host-env-security-policy.json allows untrusted model to substitute compiler binaries (CC, CXX, CARGO_BUILD_RUSTC, CMAKE_C_COMPILER) via env overrides on approved host exec requests
Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: narrow
- Normalized severity: medium
- Assessment: Shipped v2026.3.28 host-env policy missed compiler override vars, but exploitation still requires an approved host-exec request inside the existing exec trust domain, so medium not high.
