Information
Kubernetes provides a default namespace, where objects are placed if no namespace is specified for them. Placing objects in this namespace makes application of RBAC and other controls more difficult.
Rationale:
Resources in a Kubernetes cluster should be segregated by namespace, to allow for security controls to be applied at that level and to make it easier to manage resources.
NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
Ensure that namespaces are created to allow for appropriate segregation of Kubernetes resources and that all new resources are created in a specific namespace.
Impact:
None
Default Value:
Unless a namespace is specific on object creation, the default namespace will be used
