Least privilege access and need to know must be required to access the container platform runtime.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>The container platform runtime is used to instantiate containers. If this process is accessed by those persons who are not authorized, those containers offering services can be brought to a denial of service (DoS) situation, disabling a large number of services with a small change to the container platform. To limit this threat, it is important to limit access to the runtime to only those individuals with runtime duties.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
