Kingdom: Encapsulation
Encapsulation is about drawing strong boundaries. In a web browser that might mean ensuring that your mobile code cannot be abused by other mobile code. On the server it might mean differentiation between validated data and unvalidated data, between one user's data and another's, or between data users are allowed to see and data that they are not.
Kubernetes Misconfiguration: Kubelet Anonymous Access
Abstract
Anonymous requests are enabled in a Kubelet configuration.
Explanation
There is a configuration that permits Kubelets to serve anonymous requests. Anonymous requests are not rejected by any configured authentication method. Because Kubelets are the Kubernetes principal agents to manage a worker machine workload, attackers can use anonymous requests to gain access to insufficiently protected and security sensitive service APIs.
Example 1: The following configuration file permits a Kubelet to serve anonymous requests because the
