A critical vulnerability, CVE-2026-82533, has been discovered in DeepSeek Harness, an open-source tool by DeepSeek for running local coding agents. The flaw allows AI agents to bypass their own sandbox restrictions and gain full access to the system by exploiting an unauthenticated local web interface. This bypass can be triggered through a single shell command, disabling file system sandboxing and approval prompts for sensitive operations. Versions prior to 0.1.1-rc.2 are affected, with a fix introducing token-based authentication for the local interface. AI
