Ensure that the --insecure-allow-any-token argument is not set (API Server)

Ensure that the API server is configured to only use strong cryptographic ciphers. TLS ciphers have had a number of known vulnerabilities and weaknesses, which can reduce the protection provided by them. By default Kubernetes supports a number of TLS ciphersuites including some that have security concerns, weakening the protection provided.

GSL LOGIC

KubernetesPod where labels contain [value='kube-apiserver'] and namespace = 'kube-system'  should have spec.containers with [parsedArgs contain-none [key like 'insecure-allow-any-token']]

REMEDIATION

Edit the API server pod specification file $apiserverconf
on the master node and remove the --insecure-allow-any-token
parameter.

Pods

Pods are the smallest deployable units of computing that can be created and managed in Kubernetes.A Pod is a group of one or more containers (such as Docker containers), with shared storage/network, and a specification for how to run the containers.
