🔒 Safe Execution Using instance_exec with Lambdas​

Sandbox dynamic code by running user-provided lambdas with restricted receivers via instance_exec. Limit accessible methods by creating a minimal context object, preventing unauthorized method calls.

safe_context = Object.new
class << safe_context
undef_method :method_missing
def allowed
"safe"
end
end

user_lambda = -> { allowed + " world" }
result = safe_context.instance_exec(&user_lambda)
puts result # => "safe world"
