Despite what some people will tell you (including many in the security indistry), Docker is not a strong security boundary, and it should not be treated as one. It shares a kernel with the running system.

It reminds me of the good old days when people would hand out low privilege Linux accounts and rely on the kernel to prevent privilige escalation. Docker is literally the same thing, just with extra steps. Especially today with new kernel LPE'S dropping every 5 minutes.

Yes, Podman is a bit better because you arent handing the attacker root, but... why hand them an account at all? Just use a grown up VM.
