info:
  name: Network policies define egress rules
  author: princechaddha
  severity: medium
  description: Checks for network policies in Kubernetes that do not define egress rules, which can leave the network exposed to external threats.
  impact: |
    Lack of egress rules in network policies can result in unrestricted outbound network traffic, which may allow data exfiltration or unauthorized access to external services.
  remediation: Define egress rules in all network policies to control outbound traffic from your Kubernetes pods, thereby reducing security risks.
