Those who speak English as a first language likely understood my use of
"if".  Had I used "when" instead, that would have implied certainty of
knowledge.  "If" conveys a possibility, a hypothetical.

For the English challenged, maybe reversing the sentence is more
comprehensible:

"If doing so inside VMs it is dangerous."
