Abusing the containers to send large amounts of outgoing traffic would do just that. Downloading files would do that too. How about sending a "while(true) { }" to hog some CPU? It doesn't take much to cause significant monetary damage.
Depending on their set-up, those containers could contain credentials or some other means to compromise the rest of the website. Perhaps it is possible to re-use the containers across different "sessions", serving multiple clients with malicious traffic. Those are plausible scenarios.
I'm not carrying out a full PT right now. Demonstrating the platform has been compromised is more than enough. Any other questions?
