1 Rule
The container root filesystem must be mounted as read-only.
Medium Severity
Any changes to a container must be made by rebuilding the image and redeploying the new container image. Once a container is running, changes to the root filesystem should not be needed, thus preserving the immutable nature of the container. Any attempts to change the root filesystem are usually malicious in nature and can be prevented by making the root filesystem read-only.
