  name: Ensure TLS config appropriately set
  author: princechaddha
  severity: medium
  description: Checks if the tls-cert-file and tls-private-key-file arguments are properly set in the API server configuration, which is essential for secure communication.
  impact: |
    The absence of tls-cert-file and tls-private-key-file arguments means that the API server may not use TLS for secure communications, leading to potential security risks.
  remediation: |
    Configure the API server to use tls-cert-file and tls-private-key-file that point to a valid certificate and key file respectively. This setting should be part of the API server startup arguments or in its configuration file.
