Description

When a container runs kube-apiserver, the --authorization-mode flag should include Node. This rule applies to both containers and initContainers and inspects the container command to verify the presence of --authorization-mode with the Node value. Omission of Node from --authorization-mode may disable node-level authorization and increase the API server’s security risk.
