Configuration files for the container platform must be protected.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>The secure configuration of the container platform must be protected by disallowing changes to be implemented by non-privileged users. Changes to the container platform can introduce security risks or stability issues and undermine change management procedures. Securing configuration files from non-privileged user modification can be enforced using file ownership and permissions.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
