TODO.md

Major tasks

• Redesign sandboxR to run in an environment with dummy forbidden functions loaded.
• Tidy up unnecessary regexps and checks from sandbox thanks to the above!

Check up at least twice!

• masked fn of latticeParseFormula is really needed? sandboxR environment seems to handle malicious calls hidden inside without updating that in lattice namespace

Allow (and create) masked functions for the followings

Base

• get, mget
• assign
• ls
• attach, detach (wontfix)
• parse, deparse
• eval
• do.call (safe.call from ggplot2) etc.
• exists
• is.call, as.call, call
• library, require
• rm, remove (wontfix: expressions run in a temporary environment, gc will arrange that automatically)

Stats, graphics, grDevices, datasets

All done, no further functions will be permitted.

Methods

All functions to be revised (nothing permitted ATM).

Utils

• lsf.str, ls.str

Possible hacks to sort out

• Check for :: in calls not to allow running commands from unloaded packages.
• base::body
• quoted function calls
• base::rawToChar
• unexposed function calls
• functions as symbol

Further packages to permit (backlist)

• grid
• lattice
• parralel (wontfix for RApache environment ATM)
• reshape, reshape2, plyr
• ggplot2
• wordcloud, treemap, scatterplot3d etc.
• nortest
• outliers
• descr
• rapport
• ...
