I would be curious to know what malicious implications eBPF could have. related discussion [1] [2] For example, could a file-less trojan be injected via eBPF to reroute specific data payloads or copy specific payloads to different destinations? Or silently censor specific destinations?

Are there ways that eBPF could be abused and if so what mitigations, limitations and logging can one implement so that eBPF can remain enabled in a hardened and sensitive environment?
