Description

Containers can mount sensitive directories from the host, granting potentially dangerous access to critical host configurations and binaries. This rule flags container volume mounts where the mountPath is a host-sensitive directory (for example /bin, /etc, /proc, or /) and the readOnly attribute is missing or set to false. Such mounts are expected to be set to read-only to avoid modification of host files and reduce the risk of privilege escalation or system compromise.
