Minimize the admission of FSGroup applied to some volumes (PSP)

Controls the supplemental group applied to some volumes. Do not generally permit supplemental groups to be run as the root user. If you need to run root supplemental groups, this should be defined in a separate PSP and you should carefully check RBAC controls to ensure that only limited service accounts and users are given permission to access that PSP.

Risk Level: Low
Cloud Entity: Pod Security Policies

GSL LOGIC

KubernetesPodSecurityPolicy should have spec.fsGroup.rule='MustRunAs' and spec.fsGroup.ranges contain [ min>0 ]

REMEDIATION

Create a PSP as described in the Kubernetes documentation, ensuring that the .spec.fsGroup.rule is set to MustRunAs with the range of UIDs not including 0.

Pod Security Policies

A Pod Security Policy is a cluster-level resource that controls security sensitive aspects of the pod specification. The PodSecurityPolicy objects define a set of conditions that a pod must run with in order to be accepted into the system, as well as defaults for the related fields.
