Clipboard sharing security

[memeplex]

I'm concerned about security implications of clipboard sharing. I use virtualbuddy to run work systems of which I cannot assume weren't compromised (I have to disable sip to run monitoring stuff). Of course I don't want anything like that near my personal system. I'm afraid as soon as I press C-c in my host the clipboard is synchronized to the guest's clipboard. Am I right? Isn't there a way to defer transferring clipboard contents until I press C-v in the guest? Thanks!

Technically yes, but not trivial to implement, and not available in the current version.

If you’re concerned with the guest getting clipboard contents from the host, the only solution right now is to not run the VirtualBuddyGuest app at all.
