Why
The Linux managed-proxy bridge helpers are long-lived child processes in the sandbox networking path. Before this change they stayed dumpable and the network seccomp profile did not block cross-process memory syscalls, so another same-user process could potentially inspect or modify bridge memory instead of interacting only through the intended proxy interface.
What changed
codex-process-hardeninghelper to mark bridge helper children non-dumpable before they begin servingprocess_vm_readvandprocess_vm_writevin the existing network seccomp filterSecurity impact
Bridge helpers are less exposed to same-user cross-process inspection or memory writes, which reduces the chance that sandboxed code can interfere with proxy support processes outside the intended IPC path.
