GSL LOGIC

KubernetesPod where labels contain [value='kube-apiserver'] and namespace = 'kube-system' should not have spec.containers with [parsedArgs contain [key like 'request-timeout' and value like '0']]

REMEDIATION

Edit the API server pod specification file /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-
apiserver.yaml and set the below parameter as appropriate and if needed.
