Claims Node has a real security gap and proposes a concrete mitigation: Node looks for a policy.json traversal up the cwd, starts in a restricted operating mode, computes an integrity hash of the dependency tree and enforces syscall entitlements from package.json. Prototype targets Linux using platform sandbox APIs, wraps filesystem and network calls, and aborts on violations. Cites low CSP adoption and recent malicious npm/electron packages as motivating evidence.
