Two problems with this:

1. There isn’t a single universal standard for sandboxing across all the different platforms that are supported by Rust.

2. Even if there were, if you’re compiling untrusted code then why would you trust the built output?

If you’re building the create then I’d argue that any preventative steps afterwards is akin to closing the barn door after the horse has already bolted.

Yeah, let's hold up the entire world of offensive cybersecurity capability while you work on that. Sure they will wait.

You don't. You sandbox the hell out of it too.
