OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten – K08: Secrets Management Failures

by

In the fast-evolving world of cloud-native applications, Kubernetes has emerged as the de facto standard for container orchestration. While its robust architecture streamlines deployment, scaling, and management of applications, Kubernetes introduces a unique set of security challenges. Among these, secrets management failures pose a significant risk, often leading to data breaches, unauthorised access, and compliance violations.
The OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten (K8s Top 10) highlights the most critical security risks in Kubernetes environments. K08: Secrets Management Failures underscores the common pitfalls software developers and software architects encounter when handling sensitive data such as API keys, credentials, and encryption keys.

OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten: K01:2022 – Insecure Workload Configurations

by

Kubernetes has revolutionised container orchestration, providing software developers and architects with a scalable and efficient way to manage workloads. However, its complexity also introduces a range of security vulnerabilities, as highlighted by the OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten 2022. The first entry, K01:2022 – Insecure Workload Configurations, is a critical concern, as improperly configured workloads can expose applications to exploitation, data breaches, and unauthorised access.

Container Escapes: An Executive Guide to Mitigating Container Security Risks

by

A container escape occurs when an attacker exploits a security gap within the container to break out and access the host system. This escape can involve taking advantage of:

– Vulnerabilities in the containerisation software.
– Misconfigurations in permissions or settings.
– Insecure images that may contain malware or backdoors.
