Vulnerability scanning applications must implement privileged access authorization to all OpenShift components, containers, and container images for selected organization-defined vulnerability scanning activities.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>OpenShift uses service accounts to provide applications running on or off the platform access to the API service using the enforced RBAC policies. Vulnerability scanning applications that need access to the container platform may use a service account to grant that access. That service account can then be bound to the appropriate role required. The highest level of access granted is the cluster-admin role. Any account bound to that role can access and modify anything on the platform. It is strongly recommended to limit the number of accounts bound to that role. Instead, there are other predefined cluster level roles that may support the scanning to, such as the view or edit cluster roles. Additionally, custom roles may be defined to tailor fit access as needed by the scanning tools.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
