OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten – K10: Outdated and Vulnerable Kubernetes Components

4 May 2025 by Krishna

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, offering scalability, flexibility, and automation for modern applications. However, as its adoption grows, so do the security risks associated with misconfigurations, outdated components, and unpatched vulnerabilities. The OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten (K10) highlights critical security issues within Kubernetes environments, and K10: Outdated and Vulnerable Kubernetes Components specifically addresses the risks of running obsolete or insecure Kubernetes elements.

OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten – K04: Lack of Centralised Policy Enforcement

28 April 2025 by Krishna

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for orchestrating containerised applications, offering immense scalability, automation, and resilience. However, its complexity also introduces a broad attack surface. The OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten identifies the most pressing security risks, and K04: Lack of Centralised Policy Enforcement is among the most critical. Without a unified approach to security policies, organisations risk misconfigurations, compliance failures, and security breaches.

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

25 April 2025 by Krishna

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.
