Privilege Escalation Analysis

Privilege Escalation Analysis is a systematic method within the domain of penetration testing and intrusion analysis that identifies and evaluates vulnerabilities enabling an attacker to gain elevated access privileges beyond those initially granted, distinguishing itself by focusing on the pathways, techniques, and misconfigurations exploited to transition from lower- to higher-privilege states in containerized, cloud, or Windows environments.
