Description

A security_context defines privileges and access control settings for a Pod or Container.
This rule ensures the security_context attribute is present on kubernetes_pod resources and on init_container and container entries within the pod spec.
If security_context is missing, the rule reports a MissingAttribute issue that includes the resource details and the expected versus actual values.
