Name: lint.

Do common validations on descriptors. As of today mainly cpu/memory resources definition.

Linting Checks

Here is the list of available checks by defaults.

access-to-create-pods

Name: access-to-create-pods.

Indicates when a subject (Group/User/ServiceAccount) has create access to Pods. CIS Benchmark 5.1.4: The ability to create pods in a cluster opens up possibilities for privilege escalation and should be restricted, where possible.

Remediation

Where possible, remove create access to pod objects in the cluster.

access-to-secrets

Name: access-to-secrets.

Indicates when a subject (Group/User/ServiceAccount) has access to Secrets. CIS Benchmark 5.1.2: Access to secrets should be restricted to the smallest possible group of users to reduce the risk of privilege escalation.

Remediation

Where possible, remove get, list and watch access to secret objects in the cluster.

cpu-limits

Name: cpu-limits.

Ensures resources.limits.cpu is set.

Remediation

Set resources.limits.cpu.

cpu-requests

Name: cpu-requests.

Ensures resources.requests.cpu is set.

Remediation

Set resources.requests.cpu.

default-service-account

Name: default-service-account.

Indicates when pods use the default service account.

Remediation

Create a dedicated service account for your pod. Refer to https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-service-account/ for details.

deprecated-service-account-field

Name: deprecated-service-account-field.

Indicates when deployments use the deprecated serviceAccount field.

Remediation

Use the serviceAccountName field instead. If you must specify serviceAccount, ensure values for serviceAccount and serviceAccountName match.

dnsconfig-options

Name: dnsconfig-options.

Alert on deployments that have no specified dnsConfig options

Remediation

Specify dnsconfig options in your Pod specification to ensure the expected DNS setting on the Pod. Refer to https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/dns-pod-service/#pod-dns-config for details.

docker-sock

Name: docker-sock.

Alert on deployments with docker.sock mounted in containers.

Remediation

Ensure the Docker socket is not mounted inside any containers by removing the associated Volume and VolumeMount in deployment yaml specification. If the Docker socket is mounted inside a container it could allow processes running within the container to execute Docker commands which would effectively allow for full control of the host.

drop-net-raw-capability

Name: drop-net-raw-capability.

Indicates when containers do not drop NET_RAW capability

Remediation

NET_RAW makes it so that an application within the container is able to craft raw packets, use raw sockets, and bind to any address. Remove this capability in the containers under containers security contexts.

Check that duplicate named env vars aren’t passed to a deployment like.

Remediation

Confirm that your DeploymentLike doesn’t have duplicate env vars names.

Alert on pods/deployment-likes with sharing host’s network namespace

Remediation

Ensure the host’s network namespace is not shared.

host-pid

Name: host-pid.

Remediation

Increase the number of replicas in the deployment to at least three to increase the fault tolerance of the deployment.

mismatching-selector

Name: mismatching-selector.

Indicates when deployment selectors fail to match the pod template labels.

Remediation

Confirm that your deployment selector correctly matches the labels in its pod template.

missing-anti-affinity

Name: missing-anti-affinity.

Remediation

Add podAntiAffinity in your deployment descriptor.

no-extensions-v1beta

Name: no-extensions-v1beta.

Indicates when objects use deprecated API versions under extensions/v1beta.

Remediation

Any container (from containers array) should have a liveness probe.

no-read-only-root-fs

Name: no-read-only-root-fs.

Indicates when containers are running without a read-only root filesystem.

Remediation

Set readOnlyRootFilesystem to true in the container securityContext.

no-readiness-probe

Name: no-readiness-probe.

Ensures a readinessProbe probe is defined.

Remediation

Any container (from containers array) should have a readinessProbe probe.

privilege-escalation-container

Name: privilege-escalation-container.

Alert on containers of allowing privilege escalation that could gain more privileges than its parent process.

Remediation

Ensure containers do not allow privilege escalation by setting allowPrivilegeEscalation=false, privileged=false and removing CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/security-context/ for more details.

privileged-container

Name: privileged-container.

Indicates when deployments have containers running in privileged mode.

Remediation

Do not run your container as privileged unless it is required.

Remediation

Ensure privileged ports [0, 1024] are not mapped within containers.

Name: read-secret-from-env-var.

Indicates when a deployment reads secret from environment variables. CIS Benchmark 5.4.1: "Prefer using secrets as files over secrets as environment variables. "

Remediation

run-as-non-root

Name: run-as-non-root.

Indicates when containers are not set to runAsNonRoot.

Remediation

Set runAsUser to a non-zero number and runAsNonRoot to true in your pod or container securityContext. Refer to https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/security-context/ for details.

sensitive-host-mounts

Name: sensitive-host-mounts.

Alert on deployments with sensitive host system directories mounted in containers.

Remediation

Ensure sensitive host system directories are not mounted in containers by removing those Volumes and VolumeMounts.

unsafe-proc-mount

Name: unsafe-proc-mount.

Alert on deployments with unsafe /proc mount (procMount=Unmasked) that will bypass the default masking behavior of the container runtime

Remediation

Ensure container does not unsafely exposes parts of /proc by setting procMount=Default. Unmasked ProcMount bypasses the default masking behavior of the container runtime. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/pod-security-standards/ for more details.

unsafe-sysctls

Name: unsafe-sysctls.

Alert on deployments specifying unsafe sysctls that may lead to severe problems like wrong behavior of containers

Remediation

Ensure container does not allow unsafe allocation of system resources by removing unsafe sysctls configurations. For more details see https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/sysctl-cluster/ https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/#configure-namespaced-kernel-parameters-sysctls-at-runtime.

Remediation

Create namespaces for objects in your deployment.

wildcard-in-rules

Name: wildcard-in-rules.

Indicate when a wildcard is used in Role or ClusterRole rules. CIS Benchmark 5.1.3 Use of wildcards is not optimal from a security perspective as it may allow for inadvertent access to be granted when new resources are added to the Kubernetes API either as CRDs or in later versions of the product.

Remediation

Where possible replace any use of wildcards in clusterroles and roles with specific objects or actions.

writable-host-mount

Name: writable-host-mount.

Indicates when containers mount a host path as writable.

Remediation

Set containers to mount host paths as readOnly, if you need to access files on the host.

Configuration

--alveolus (BUNDLEBEE_LINT_ALVEOLUS)

Values are | delimited and are either a JSON-Pointer (wrapped in a remove JSON-Patch) or directly a JSON-Patch. Using none ignores this processing. Default value: /$schema|/$bundlebeeIgnoredLintingRules

If a proxy is needed to contact the target cluster API, its port. Default value: 3128

--bundlebee.kube.proxy.setProxySystemProperties (BUNDLEBEE_KUBE_PROXY_SETPROXYSYSTEMPROPERTIES)

If a proxy is configured to use authentication, automatically set -Djdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes=, note that setting it on the JVM is still more reliable depending how you run bundlebee (in particular with maven or embed). Important: the system property is "leaked", ie it is not cleaned up to limit side effect in concurrent mode. Default value: true

--bundlebee.kube.proxy.username (BUNDLEBEE_KUBE_PROXY_USERNAME)

If a proxy is needed to contact the target cluster API, its username if it needs an authentication (take care the JVM can nee -Djdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes= options).

--bundlebee.kube.putOnUpdate (BUNDLEBEE_KUBE_PUTONUPDATE)
