Which of the following is a possible consequence of a VM escape?

VM escape is a critical vulnerability where an attacker breaks out of a virtual machine (VM) and gains unauthorized access to the underlying hypervisor. Once the hypervisor is compromised, the attacker can then access, control, or disrupt other VMs running on that same hypervisor, leading to widespread system compromise and data breaches. The other options are incorrect because: "Malicious instructions can be inserted into memory and give the attacker elevated permissions" describes a general memory-based attack or privilege escalation, not specifically a VM escape. "Unencrypted data can be read by a user who is in a separate environment" describes a data confidentiality issue, not a VM escape. "Users can install software that is not on the manufacturer’s approved list" describes a policy violation or unauthorized software installation, not a VM escape.
