So the LLM was able to look up a basic way to reroute things to get to their destination (likely well available and trained in the corpus) and it's surprising?

What's surprising is the surprise the security testers are explaining.

By setting an outcome to reach an endpoint, and to find all possible ways there, would this not be in the realm of possibility if an agent is reasonably in control of a vps?

Having the vps locked within a network layer it can't see or get out of is pretty common practice when setting up IaaS / PaaS.. sans-llm.

Maybe I'm missing something here, what confuses me is how something so relatively simple can get such prominent coverage, it's hard to imagine this kind of ability is still relatively new or surprising to folks working at the major models, unless they aren't hiring for network experience?
