  1. Kubernetes today ❏ Many means available to make clusters more

    secure ❏ Continued efforts towards secure-by-default ❏ Fairly good security track record
  2. apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod … volumeMounts: - mountPath: /test name:

    test subPath: malicious-symlink volumes: - name: test hostPath: path: /tmp/test type: Directory
  3. kube-apiserver: auth delegation ❏ Needed for e.g. API extensions --requestheader-client-ca-file

    --requestheader-group-headers --requestheader-username-headers --requestheader-allowed-names (~optional) --requestheader-extra-headers-prefix (optional)
  4. kube-apiserver: auth delegation [Service] ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/kube-apiserver \ --authorization-mode=Node,RBAC \ --client-ca-file=/etc/k8s/ca.pem \

    --bind-address=0.0.0.0 \ […] --requestheader-client-ca-file=/etc/k8s/ca.pem \ --requestheader-group-headers=X-Remote-Group \ --requestheader-username-headers=X-Remote-User CTF: Demo #1 http://tiny.cc/k8sminictf
  5. PodSecurityPolicy (PSP) ❏ Added with v1.10 ❏ Administrators decide what

    contexts pods can run in ❏ Would have been a way to mitigate CVE-2017-1002101 ... with the right policy
  6. apiVersion: policy/v1beta1 kind: PodSecurityPolicy … privileged: false volumes: - 'hostPath'

    allowedHostPaths: - pathPrefix: /tmp runAsUser: rule: 'MustRunAs' ranges: - min: 1 max: 65535 CTF: Demo #2 http://tiny.cc/k8sminictf
  7. Server-side request forgery (SSRF) ❏ “... is a type of
