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 However, as its adoption grows, so do the security risks associated with misconfigurations, outdated components, and unpatched vulnerabilities. The OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten (K10) highlights critical security issues within Kubernetes environments, and K10: Outdated and Vulnerable Kubernetes Components specifically addresses the risks of running obsolete or insecure Kubernetes elements.

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.
