  $10 says they haven't actually escaped anything and it's just hallucinating a directory structure & file contents

    MS said they fixed it and categorised it as a “moderate severity vulnerability” so presumably they did in fact gain root access to the container

      If they gained root access to the container, that’s not a moderate vulnerability. Root inside a container is still root. You can still access the kernel with root privs and it’s the same kernel as the host.

      Docker is not a virtual machine.

    Even if it had access to its own source during training, the chances of it regurgitating it with total fidelity are zero.

  And so Microsoft decided this wasn't a big enough vulnerability to pay them a bounty. Why the fuck would you ever share that with them then, if you could sell it to a black-hat hacking org for thousands?

    There may not have been any logical progression beyond the container.

      Surely there wasn’t an exploit on the half a year out of date kernel (Article screenshots from April 2025, uname kernel release from a CBL-Mariner released September 3rd 2024).

  I’m sure nothing will go wrong with tons of critical business documents being routed through copilot for organizations…
