Deny access to the host machine
Summary
A virtual machine must not have access to information of the host machine.
Description
An attacker with access to information on the host machine from a VM could attempt to steal sensitive data, including confidential documents, passwords, or encryption keys stored on the host system. The attacker that has access to the VM sharing information with the host machine, may attempt to exploit vulnerabilities or misconfigurations to escalate their privileges and collect that information.
