Fix: Container Missing Security Settings Allowing Privilege Escalation in deployment.yaml

Open kira-offgrid opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Context and Purpose:

This PR automatically remediates a security vulnerability:

  • Description: In Kubernetes, each pod runs in its own isolated environment with its own set of security policies. However, certain container images may contain setuid or setgid binaries that could allow an attacker to perform privilege escalation and gain access to sensitive resources. To mitigate this risk, it's recommended to add a securityContext to the container in the pod, with the parameter allowPrivilegeEscalation set to false. This will prevent the container from running any privileged processes and limit the impact of any potential attacks. By adding a securityContext to your Kubernetes pod, you can help to ensure that your containerized applications are more secure and less vulnerable to privilege escalation attacks.
  • Rule ID: yaml.kubernetes.security.allow-privilege-escalation-no-securitycontext.allow-privilege-escalation-no-securitycontext
  • Severity: MEDIUM
  • File: deployment.yaml
  • Lines Affected: 32 - 32

This change is necessary to protect the application from potential security risks associated with this vulnerability.

Solution Implemented:

The automated remediation process has applied the necessary changes to the affected code in deployment.yaml to resolve the identified issue.

Please review the changes to ensure they are correct and integrate as expected.
