    So first off - NVD has been sliding for a long time now. This has nothing to do with mythos. The amount of money that goes into this program for the output is straight up criminal.…

    No they have not been. There were at least 16 container escapes last year - at least 8 of them were at the runtime layer. I personally spent way too much time looking at this in th…

    A lot of these "ai sandbox" conversations target code that is already running in a public cloud. Running firecracker doesn't give you magical isolation properties vs running an app…

    Duplicating a networking and storage layer on top of existing storage/networking layers that containers, and the orchestrators such as k8s provide, absolutely degrade performance -…

    A shell by design is explicitly made to run other programs. You type in 'ls', 'cd', 'cat', etc. but those are all different programs. A "webshell" can work to a degree as you could…

    Let's see last month (November 2025) we had CVE-2025-31133, CVE-2025-52565, and CVE-2025-52881 alone. Container breakouts happen almost monthly .

    It's confusing but CVE-2025-55184 was released today (not the ones last week). CVE-2025-67779 is an update to that one.
