find can execute subcommands (-exec arg), and plenty of other shell commands can be used for that as well. Most build tools' configuration can be abused to execute arbitrary commands. And if your LLM can make changes to your codebase + run it, trying to limit the shell commands it can execute is pointless anyways.

Previously you might've been able to say "okay, but that requires the attacker to guess the specifics of my environment" - which is no longer true. An attacker can now simply instruct the LLM to exploit your environment and hope the LLM figures out how to do it on its own.
