The Codejail Plugin is designed for the Open edX platform in conjunction with Tutor, facilitating the secure execution of untrusted code within isolated sandboxes. Leveraging the codejail library and an external service, the plugin establishes controlled environments for code execution within the Open edX framework.

If you are an administrator or user of the Open edX platform running Tutor as your distribution, and you need to strengthen the security of your platform, the Codejail Plugin for Tutor is designed for you. The Codejail Plugin allows the secure execution of untrusted code within controlled environments. By integrating this plugin, you can utilize the Codejail library and an external service to establish secure sandboxes for code execution within your Open edX environment. This plugin is tailored for individuals or organizations familiar with Open edX, Tutor, and seeking to implement secure code execution capabilities in their online learning platform.
