Malicious Container Image: Docker Container Host

Analysis of malicious container images designed to escape containers and compromise the Docker host demonstrates container escape techniques and host-level attacks. This research reveals how attackers leverage container misconfigurations to break out of container isolation.

Container escape attacks represent a significant threat to containerized environments, as they allow attackers to move from a compromised container to the underlying host system, potentially compromising entire containerized infrastructure.

Container Escape Techniques

• Exploitation of privileged container configurations
• Abuse of host filesystem mounts
• Docker socket exposure vulnerabilities
• Namespace and cgroup escape techniques
