This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the security threats in cloud container environments and the design and implementation of three escape attacks to obtain root privileges on a Transwarp Data Cloud (TDC) platform. The paper provides a thorough investigation and analysis of the security threats in cloud container environments, highlighting the most critical vulnerabilities and potential attacks. The authors design and implement three escape attacks on the TDC container environments, which are designed to exploit vulnerabilities in the platform’s security mechanisms and gain root privileges on the host system. The paper presents the results of a series of experiments in which the three escape attacks are tested on the TDC platform, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed attacks.
