Kubernetes Kubelet must deny hostname override.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Kubernetes allows for the overriding of hostnames. Allowing this feature to be implemented within the kubelets may break the TLS setup between the kubelet service and the API server. This setting also can make it difficult to associate logs with nodes if security analytics needs to take place. The better practice is to setup nodes with resolvable FQDNs and avoid overriding the hostnames.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
