OpenShift must restrict individuals the ability to launch organizational-defined Denial-of-Service (DOS) attacks against other information systems by setting a default Resource Quota.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>OpenShift allows administrators to define resource quotas on a namespace basis. This allows tailoring of the shared resources based on a project needs. However, when a new project is created, unless a default project resource quota is configured, that project will not have any limits or quotas defined. This could allow someone to create a new project and then deploy services that exhaust or overuse the shared cluster resources. Thus, it is necessary to ensure that there is a default resource quota configured for all new projects. A Cluster Admin may increase resource quotas on a given project namespace, if that project requires additional resources at any time.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
