> Here’s the test. If /tmp/.XIN-unix/javae exists on my host, I’m fucked. If it doesn’t exist, then what I’m seeing is just Docker’s default behavior of showing container processes in the host’s ps output, but they’re actually isolated.

  /tmp/.XIN-unix/javae &
  rm /tmp/.XIN-unix/javae
This article’s LLM writing style is painful, and it’s full of misinformation (is Puppeteer even involved in the vulnerability?).

Seconding what others have said about preferring to read bad human writing. And I don’t want to pick on you – this is a broadly applicable message prompted by a drop in the bucket – but please don’t publish articles beyond your ability to fact check. Just write what you actually know, and when you’re making a guess or you still have open questions at the end of your investigation, be honest about that. (People make mistakes all the time anyway, but we’re in an age where confident and detailed mistakes have become especially accessible.)
