Summary

OpenShell mirror mode can convert untrusted sandbox files into explicitly enabled workspace hooks and execute them on the host during gateway startup

Current Maintainer Triage

• Status: narrow
• Normalized severity: medium
• Assessment: Real on shipped <=2026.3.22 OpenShell mirror sync, but exploit needs mirror mode plus hooks enabled plus explicit hook opt-in plus restart, so high is overstated even though the direct fix shipped in v2026.3.28.
