Verify Permissions on the pod log files
An XCCDF Rule
Description
All logs must be owned by root user and group and have permissions 755. By default, the path for the Kubernetes pod logs is
/var/log/pods/.
Rationale
Pod log files may contain sensitive information such as application data, user credentials, or system configurations. Unauthorized access to these log files can expose sensitive data to malicious actors. By setting owner permissions, OpenShift ensures that only authorized users or processes with the necessary privileges can access the pod log files, preserving the confidentiality of the logged information.
