Exploit Chain

A sequence of two or more vulnerabilities exploited together to achieve an impact none of them allows alone — for example, a browser sandbox escape chained with a kernel privilege escalation. Modern attacks on hardened targets almost always require chains, which is why vendors patch even 'low-severity' links aggressively.
