Synopsis
Kubernetes Ingress NGINX Controller is installed on the remote Linux host.Description
Kubernetes Ingress NGINX Controller is installed on the remote Linux host.Note: This detection requires access to low-level container runtime data used by Kubernetes to manage running workloads.
These files include mounted container filesystems and metadata that are only accessible to privileged users (e.g., root).
To ensure accurate detection, SSH credentials provided to the scanner should have sufficient privileges to read these runtime files.
In Nessus, this can be done by enabling the 'Elevate privileges with sudo' option so that the scanner can access the protected container data typically restricted to root.
