Sage is as secure as bash (+ compilers). If you want to run arbitrary
bash scripts, let other people run their bash scripts, or set up a web
interface for others to running bash scripts, then you should get your
security from another level (limited accounts, jails, virtual
machines, etc.)

One can talk a bit about the security of the notebook itself, which
has been done, but it doesn't really make sense to talk about "sage
security" as it's a (huge) superset of a shell prompt.
