Authentication 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 changing to be implemented by non-privileged users. Changes to the container platform can introduce security risks and stability issues and undermine change management procedures. To secure authentication files from non-privileged user modification can be enforced using file ownership and permissions. Examples of authentication files are keys, certificates, and tokens.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
