Information
Ensure that the admin.conf file has permissions of 644 or more restrictive.
Rationale:
The admin.conf is the administrator kubeconfig file defining various settings for the administration of the cluster. You should restrict its file permissions to maintain the integrity of the file. The file should be writable by only the administrators on the system.
Impact:
None.
Solution
Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the master node. For example,
chmod 644 /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf
Default Value:
By default, admin.conf has permissions of 640.
