Description

Workloads and persistent volumes outside the kube-system namespace should not include hostPath mounts. This rule evaluates kubernetes_pod and kubernetes_persistent_volume resources and flags any spec.volume.host_path.path entries; when metadata.namespace is unset it is treated as default.
