🔍 Security Analysis

🚨 Privileged Shell Execution

Executes virsh, virt-install, and other libvirt commands with sudo privileges. Full system-level VM control including create, destroy, and delete operations.

🚨 System-Level Access

Directly manipulates KVM hypervisor, storage pools (/var/lib/libvirt/images/), and network bridges. Can modify system-level virtualization infrastructure.

⚠️ Destructive Operations

Supports VM deletion with storage removal (virsh undefine --remove-all-storage). Has safety prompts but still high-risk capability.

✅ Safety Features

Includes confirmation prompts for destructive operations and backup options before deletion. Well-documented safety workflow.

📦 System Requirements

  • KVM/QEMU installed
  • libvirt and virsh
  • sudo access for libvirt operations
  • virt-install for VM creation
