Well there's the prompt injection itself, and the fact that the agent framework tried to defend against it with a "sandbox" that technically existed but was ludicrously inadequate.

I don't know how anyone with a modicum of Unix experience would think that examining the only first word of a shell command would be enough to tell you whether it can lead to arbitrary code execution.
