Detecting Privilege Escalation in Polyglot Microservices via Agentic Program Analysis

arXiv:2605.15569v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Microservices are widely adopted in modern cloud systems due to their scalability and fault tolerance. However, microservice architectures introduce significant complexity in privilege and permission control, creating risks of privilege escalation where attackers can gain unauthorized access to resources or operations. Detecting such vulnerabilities is challenging due to complex cross-service interactions, polyglot codebases, and diverse privileg
