Graphviz sandbox

Usage

dot_sandbox options ...

Overview

This program is a wrapper around Graphviz. It aims to provide a safe environment for the processing of untrusted input graphs and command line options. More precisely:

•

No network access will be allowed.

•

The file system will be read-only. Command line options like -o ... and -O will not work. It is expected that the caller will render to stdout and pipe the output to their desired file.

The command line options to dot_sandbox are command line options to be passed to dot. Options are passed through unmodified.

The following sandboxing mechanisms are supported:

•

Bubblewrap

•

macOS sandbox-exec
