Perplexity finds most AI agents barely tested a VM's isolation in escape challenge

AIPerplexity reports that when given a CTF prompt, AI agents spent most of their effort searching the VM for the flag through files and services rather than testing its isolation. Nine of 12 models spent at most 4% of their effort on the virtualization layer, so their failed escape attempts are weak evidence of the VM's security.
