info:
  name: Ensure etcd-cafile argument set
  author: princechaddha
  severity: medium
  description: Checks if the etcd-cafile argument is properly set in the etcd configuration, crucial for secure client connections to etcd.
  impact: |
    Without specifying the etcd-cafile argument, etcd might not establish secure and authenticated connections, leading to potential security breaches.
  remediation: |
    Configure etcd to use an etcd-cafile argument that points to a valid CA certificate bundle. This setting should be part of the etcd startup arguments or in its configuration file.
