Description

The kubelet configuration file is set with permissions more permissive than 600, allowing users other than the owner to read or modify sensitive configuration settings. This exposes critical kubelet parameters to unauthorized access.

Impact

If exploited, unauthorized users could access or alter the kubelet's configuration, potentially leading to privilege escalation, disruption of cluster operations, or compromise of node security and sensitive data.

Resolution

Change the kubelet config yaml permissions to 600 or more restrictive if exist
