Concerned about VM escape in 2024
I'm testing some sketchy software in a non-admin account on a Windows 10 21H2 VM in Hyper-V. The VM is set up without networking and I only use Copy-VMFile to copy files to the VM. To transfer files to the host I first transfer files to a virtual hard disk, then I turn off the VM and mount the disk as read-only in the host, and finally, I scan the transferred files with Microsoft Defender and copy them to host.
The questions are:
- Is this enough isolation to avoid a VM escape?
- Should I even be worried about VM escapes in 2024? I've read it's extremely unlikely.
- How can I make my setup more secure?
