MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
T1548 Abuse Elevation Control Mechanism Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may circumvent mechanisms designed to control privilege elevation to gain higher-level permissions.
Why these techniques?

Kernel permission bypass in BPF_PROG_DETACH allows unprivileged users to perform privileged detach operations, directly enabling privilege escalation (T1068) and abuse of elevation control mechanisms (T1548).
