#55> Docker Container Escape > The payload checks for the Docker socket and, if present, attempts container escape through three sequential methods: So even if you're running devcontainers / VMs, these worms are already trying to escape. Make sure you're running a rootless VM engine (e.g. podman instead of docker) !

#60The situation is getting crazy ... personally I have already uninstalled node, python and all package managers from my machine and instead only use them in devcontainers / VMs. But even if the dev community comes up with super hardened security, I fear in at least a year the models will be good enough in social engineering that we are still running a losing game.
how do containers solve the problem? if they are connected to the internet (and they are) you have got the same problem, if the credentials can be read by the container, at least to my understanding
