A proof-of-concept hack allows adversaries to tweak old exploits, have code jump containers and attack underlying infrastructure.

Researchers at CyberArk have created a proof-of-concept attack that allows adversaries to bypass container security, escape the container and compromise an entire host system. However, the attack scenario is limited, in that a successful attack depends on unpatched vulnerabilities to be present in the host system.
