Information
Ensure that the API server pod specification file has permissions of 644 or more restrictive.
Rationale:
The API server pod specification file controls various parameters that set the behavior of the API server. 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

chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml
Default Value:
By default, the kube-apiserver.yaml file has permissions of 640.
