An XCCDF Rule
Description
To properly set the owner of /var/lib/etcd/member/, run the command:
$ sudo chown root /var/lib/etcd/member/
warning alert: Dependency Warning
This rule is only applicable for nodes that run the Etcd service.
The aforementioned service is only running on the nodes labeled
"master" by default.

etcd is a highly-available key-value store used by Kubernetes deployments for persistent storage of all of its REST API objects. This data directory should be protected from any unauthorized reads or writes.
