Description

In Sandbox.py there are not many syntax checks when the run.log file is parsed. If there were, bugs like [1] would have less security impact.

Start with Sandbox.py and trace how the run.log file is parsed. Read the linked pull request #211 to understand the motivating security issue and identify the syntax checks that are currently missing. Done means malformed run.log input is detected safely without reproducing that issue.
