Process Isolation
A security mechanism in modern operating systems that assigns each process an independent virtual address space and enforces isolation through the MMU and page tables, preventing unauthorized memory access between processes.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Enabling least privilege and process isolation for critical services can reduce the room for lateral movement after a single point of compromise.
In the process isolation design, when a plugin runs inside the main process it shares memory space and the event loop with the core logic, and a plugin crash or block affects the main process; after migrating to a worker, the benefits include a reduced failure domain, recoverability from crashes, and resource limitability, at the cost of increased communication overhead and a more complex debugging path.
Process/privilege isolation places tool execution in a separate process or service, where the Agent can only make requests via IPC, HTTP, or message queues, with validation occurring at the service boundary.
