What it is

🚨 A sneaky sandbox bypass could let rogue processes slip through the cracks! 🔥 Think of it like a hotel room with a security guard at the door. If someone finds a way to sneak past the guard, they can access any room, potentially pilfering valuables without being seen. If exploited, an attacker could execute malicious actions on the system, breaching privacy, stealing sensitive data, or compromising system integrity. This could lead to a catastrophic loss of personal and organizational data, impacting users on a massive scale!
