arXiv:2610.32278v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Advanced attackers in post-exploitation scenarios increasingly craft attack chains that combine benign operations, configuration errors, and vulnerability exploitation to achieve objectives like privilege escalation. While such chains pose significant threats, manually discovering them in complex modern host environments is prohibitively labor-intensive.
