Kingdom: Environment
This section includes everything that is outside of the source code but is still critical to the security of the product that is being created. Because the issues covered by this kingdom are not directly related to source code, we separated it from the rest of the kingdoms.
AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Privileged Batch Container
Abstract
A configuration sets up a container with elevated permissions to run jobs.
Explanation
By default, a container cannot execute most system and network administration operations. The privileged mode removes such restrictions. This dramatically expands the attack surface of malicious jobs.
