id: k8s-containers-share-host-ipc info: name: Containers sharing host IPC namespace author: princechaddha severity: critical description: Checks if any containers in Kubernetes Pods are configured to share the host's IPC namespace, which can lead to security risks. impact: | Sharing the host's IPC namespace allows containers to access data across all containers on the same host, posing potential security risks. remediation: Ensure that no container in Kubernetes Pods is set to share the host IPC namespace. Configure 'spec.hostIPC' to 'false' for all pods to isolate IPC namespaces. reference: - https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/security-context/ tags: cloud,devops,kubernetes,k8s,devsecops,pods,k8s-cluster-security flow: | code(1); for (let pod of template.items) { set("pod",pod) javascript(1); } self-contained: true code: - engine: - sh - bash source: kubectl get pods --all-namespaces --output=json extractors: - type: json name: items internal: true json: - '.items[]' javascript: - code: | pod = JSON.parse(template.pod); if (pod.spec.hostIPC) { let result = (`Pod '${pod.metadata.name}' in namespace '${pod.metadata.namespace}' is configured to share the host IPC namespace.`); Export(result); } extractors: - type: dsl dsl: - response # digest: 4b0a004830460221008e39125e4e88cd6fdf4a7a42cb65ed28ad966f3e82c707981a3a9b61eda975ee022100b7740c6607e3cd3abc78a7ce0787b992b3a7c2a1982f98696000b083db97e7f8:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
