id: k8s-host-network-namespace-shared info: name: Host Network Namespace Sharing author: princechaddha severity: high description: Checks if containers in Kubernetes Pods are configured to share the host's network namespace, which can lead to security risks. impact: | Sharing the host's network namespace allows containers to access the host network directly. This can lead to potential security breaches as containers might bypass network policies and gain unrestricted network access on the host. remediation: | Ensure that the 'hostNetwork' field is set to false in all Kubernetes Pods to prevent containers from sharing the host's network namespace. reference: - https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/policy/pod-security-policy/#host-namespaces tags: cloud,devops,kubernetes,k8s,devsecops,namespace,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.hostNetwork) { let result = (`Pod '${pod.metadata.name}' in namespace '${pod.metadata.namespace}' is configured to share the host's network namespace.`); Export(result); } extractors: - type: dsl dsl: - response
