gollark: So the general and robust fix for this would be to stop doing I/O this way for anything but performance-sensitive and fairly robust (terminal, FS) I/O and API stuff, but PotatOS has so much legacy code that that would actually be very hard.
gollark: As it turns out, you can take a perfectly safe function with out of sandbox access and make it very not safe by controlling what responses it gets from HTTP requests and whatever.
gollark: And *another* Lua quirk more particular to CC is a heavy emphasis on event-driven I/O via coroutines.
gollark: The FS layer is actually fine, probably, apart from insufficiently flexible filesystem virtualization; the issue is that since this is really easy, many other potatOS features interact this way.
gollark: I *also* had to patch over a bunch of debug stuff to make sure that unprivileged code can't read environments out of those too.
