This looks like the attacker is just using a publicly exposed Docker API honeypot to run a new Docker container with `privileged: true`. I don't see why that's particularly interesting given that they could just bind-mount the host / filesystem with `pid: host` and do pretty much whatever they want?

It would be much more interesting to see a remote-code-execution attack against some vulnerable service deploying a container escape payload to escalate privileges from the Docker container to the host.
