Research - From Square Root to /root: Escalating Privileges in Azure Containers with Python in Excel

Sep 16, 2026 By SafeBreach In SafeBreach
Isolation is not the same thing as security. Ron Ben Yizhak from SafeBreach Labs presented this research at Black Hat USA and DEF CON: when Microsoft shipped Python in Excel, the code didn't run on a machine. It ran in an isolated container in Azure. So he asked the obvious question. How isolated is it, really? An isolated environment still has an attack surface. It just moves. See how Ron: If your teams are evaluating cloud-executed code features, this one is worth the full read—the methodology matters as much as the findings.
