Security Considerations

JIT Compilation

JIT requires executable memory allocation which may be restricted by security policies.

Memory Safety

  • VM uses manual memory management
  • No bounds checking on array accesses
  • Validate all inputs

File System Access

System calls provide direct access to host file system.

Best Practices

  1. Only execute programs from trusted sources
  2. Use instruction limits for long-running programs
  3. Use debugger for development
  4. Keep VM updated
