ATTACK NARRATIVE
An AI agent is conducting a rapid-fire container escape campaign across the Kubernetes cluster. The attacker is cycling through known container escape techniques at machine speed, testing CVE-2024-21626, CVE-2024-23652, and custom eBPF-based escape methods. The CIE has reinforced all container boundaries with runtime seccomp profiles and deployed decoy containers with simulated escape vulnerabilities. The attacker has been redirected into 3 honeypot containers where their complete toolkit is being catalogued.
