Description

A critically vulnerable application that is detected running in a high-risk container might lead to container escape, resulting in unauthorized node control. This escalates security risks, as it exposes the cloud environment to further potential breaches.

Remediation

  1. Apply available patches to the vulnerable application.
  2. Review Kubernetes pod/container security contexts. Avoid root containers and utilize Kubernetes pod security policies and features like SELinux, AppArmor, or seccomp for stronger control.
  3. Follow cloud-specific (AWS, GCP, Azure) node hardening best practices. Keep OS and Kubernetes platform updated, and eliminate insecure services.
