Enterprise Privilege EscalationSource maturity: Realized

MITRE source definition

Adversaries may break out of a container or virtualized environment to gain access to the underlying host. This can allow an adversary access to other containerized or virtualized resources from the host level or to the host itself. In principle, containerized / virtualized resources should provide a clear separation of application functionality and be isolated from the host environment.

There are many ways an adversary may escape from a container or sandbox environment via AI Systems. For example, modifying an AI Agent's configuration to disable safety features or user confirmations could allow the adversary to invoke tools to be run on host environments rather than in the sandbox.

Source-backed defensive context

MITRE mitigations

No explicit relationship in this pinned source.

MITRE case studies

These are explicit source relationships, not independently reproduced incidents or validated detection coverage.

Simulation and telemetry boundary

This is a technique reference page, not a runnable simulation. No ATLAS-specific telemetry mapping, local attack execution or detector validation is asserted. MITRE maturity describes its source evidence, not a 1200km lab result.

For broader context—not technique-specific control mappings—see AI Security, AI Security Course, and detection-validation methodology.
