MKE host network namespace must not be shared.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>MKE can be built with privileges that are not approved within the organization. To limit the attack surface of MKE, it is essential that privileges meet organization requirements. The networking mode on a container when set to --net=host, skips placing the container inside a separate network stack. This is potentially dangerous because it allows the container process to open low-numbered ports like any other root process. Thus, a container process can potentially do unexpected things such as shutting down the Docker host. Do not use this option. By default, bridge mode is used.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
