Well, That Escalated Quickly!

Michael Cherny and Sagie Dulce · Aqua Security

Chains a browser-triggered Docker build with local name-resolution spoofing against Docker for Windows. An initial build container answers LLMNR queries to rebind a hostname to localhost, bypassing browser origin restrictions and gaining Docker API control. A shadow-container technique then transfers attack state across VM restarts to maintain persistence inside the Linux VM.
