## Summary The jq safe-bin policy blocked explicit `env` usage but still allowed jq programs that accessed environment data through `$ENV`. ## Impact An operator-approved safe-bin jq command could disclose environment variables that the safe-bin policy was supposed to keep out of scope. ## Affected Component `src/infra/exec-safe-bin-semantics.ts` ## Fixed Versions - Affected: `<= 2026.3.24` - Patched: `>= 2026.3.28` - Latest stable `2026.3.28` contains the fix. ## Fix Fixed by commit `78e2f3d66d` (`Exec: tighten jq safe-bin env checks`). Thanks @nicky-cc of Tencent zhuque Lab ([https://github.com/Tencent/AI-Infra-Guard](https://github.com/Tencent/AI-Infra-Guard)) for reporting.
