MicroK8s & Kubernetes security benchmark from CIS

Goal & Deliverables

workflow badge

MicroK8s analysed for CIS benchmark with kube-bench.

This repository implements a 100% automated workflow (via microk8s-kube-bench.yml + microk8s-kube-bench.sh) providing the installation of Microk8s on Ubuntu (run as a Github CI /CD worker). Kube-bench is then deployed and executed to obtain the analysis of the configuration of this Kubernetes cluster.

Last execution report on Github CI/CD is appended below. This workflow is scheduled for daily execution via cron directive in microk8s-kube-bench.yml) : it can then check new snaps (see below) of MicroK8s as they get published.

All suggestions for improvements or extensions are welcome. Same for pull requests!

MicroK8s

Microk8s by Canonical is single-package, fully conformant and lightweight Kubernetes distribution that works on numerous flavours of Linux. It is aimed at developer workstations, IoT, Edge & CI/CD. Simple to manage, this pure upstream distribution has same-day tracking for new releases, patches generated by root project. The Snap package manager takes care of corresponding automated updates when new upstream code gets pushed.

Canonical additionally provides various preconfigured standard K8s add-ons on top of the raw distribution: dashboard, istio, knative, metallb, cilium, kubeflow, etc. They make MicroK8s quite suitable for advanced tests on a laptop. It is also a very easy way to get started with K8s on an autonomous / personal system.

Kube-bench

As per Wikipedia: "The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, formed in October, 2000. Its mission is to "identify, develop, validate, promote, and sustain best practice solutions for cyber defense and build and lead communities to enable an environment of trust in cyberspace".The organization is headquartered in East Greenbush, New York, with members including large corporations, government agencies, and academic institutions."

kube-bench by Aqua Security is a Go application that analyses how securely Kubernetes is deployed by running the checks documented in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. Tests are configured with YAML files, making this tool easy to update as test specifications evolve.

The numbered items (like 1.2.3) found in execution report below correspond to the various points being defined and commented with this same number in the official documentation of the benchmark.

Basically, the analyis is executed via a Yaml manifest defining a Kubernetes Job deployed on the cluster. This job triggers the execution of aquasec/kube-bench:latest container image pulled from Docker Hub.

This article delivers deep and interesting insights on the benchmark.

Fork and setup

== Remediations policies ==
5.1.1 Identify all clusterrolebindings to the cluster-admin role. Check if they are used and
if they need this role or if they could use a role with fewer privileges.
Where possible, first bind users to a lower privileged role and then remove the
clusterrolebinding to the cluster-admin role :
kubectl delete clusterrolebinding [name]

5.1.2 Where possible, remove get, list and watch access to secret objects in the cluster.

5.1.3 Where possible replace any use of wildcards in clusterroles and roles with specific
objects or actions.

5.1.4 Where possible, remove create access to pod objects in the cluster.

5.1.5 Create explicit service accounts wherever a Kubernetes workload requires specific access
to the Kubernetes API server.
Modify the configuration of each default service account to include this value
automountServiceAccountToken: false

5.1.6 Modify the definition of pods and service accounts which do not need to mount service
account tokens to disable it.

5.2.1 Create a PSP as described in the Kubernetes documentation, ensuring that
the .spec.privileged field is omitted or set to false.

5.2.2 Create a PSP as described in the Kubernetes documentation, ensuring that the
.spec.hostPID field is omitted or set to false.

5.2.3 Create a PSP as described in the Kubernetes documentation, ensuring that the
.spec.hostIPC field is omitted or set to false.

5.2.4 Create a PSP as described in the Kubernetes documentation, ensuring that the
.spec.hostNetwork field is omitted or set to false.

5.2.5 Create a PSP as described in the Kubernetes documentation, ensuring that the
.spec.allowPrivilegeEscalation field is omitted or set to false.

5.2.6 Create a PSP as described in the Kubernetes documentation, ensuring that the
.spec.runAsUser.rule is set to either MustRunAsNonRoot or MustRunAs with the range of
UIDs not including 0.

5.2.7 Create a PSP as described in the Kubernetes documentation, ensuring that the
.spec.requiredDropCapabilities is set to include either NET_RAW or ALL.

5.2.8 Ensure that allowedCapabilities is not present in PSPs for the cluster unless
it is set to an empty array.

5.2.9 Review the use of capabilites in applications running on your cluster. Where a namespace
contains applicaions which do not require any Linux capabities to operate consider adding
a PSP which forbids the admission of containers which do not drop all capabilities.

5.3.1 If the CNI plugin in use does not support network policies, consideration should be given to
making use of a different plugin, or finding an alternate mechanism for restricting traffic
in the Kubernetes cluster.

5.3.2 Follow the documentation and create NetworkPolicy objects as you need them.

5.4.1 if possible, rewrite application code to read secrets from mounted secret files, rather than
from environment variables.

5.4.2 Refer to the secrets management options offered by your cloud provider or a third-party
secrets management solution.

5.5.1 Follow the Kubernetes documentation and setup image provenance.

5.7.1 Follow the documentation and create namespaces for objects in your deployment as you need
them.

5.7.2 Seccomp is an alpha feature currently. By default, all alpha features are disabled. So, you
would need to enable alpha features in the apiserver by passing "--feature-
gates=AllAlpha=true" argument.
Edit the /etc/kubernetes/apiserver file on the master node and set the KUBE_API_ARGS
parameter to "--feature-gates=AllAlpha=true"
KUBE_API_ARGS="--feature-gates=AllAlpha=true"
Based on your system, restart the kube-apiserver service. For example:
systemctl restart kube-apiserver.service
Use annotations to enable the docker/default seccomp profile in your pod definitions. An
example is as below:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: trustworthy-pod
  annotations:
    seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io/pod: docker/default
spec:
  containers:
    - name: trustworthy-container
      image: sotrustworthy:latest

5.7.3 Follow the Kubernetes documentation and apply security contexts to your pods. For a
suggested list of security contexts, you may refer to the CIS Security Benchmark for Docker
Containers.

5.7.4 Ensure that namespaces are created to allow for appropriate segregation of Kubernetes
resources and that all new resources are created in a specific namespace.
