  • In the last few months, the cybersecurity world has been taken by storm following the discovery of the Log4Shell vulnerability. The zero-day had the potential to put much of the connected world at risk and left security teams scrambling to quickly apply security patches to software just before Christmas 2021.
  • As a result of the chaos caused by Log4Shell, many organizations kicked off the new year by carrying out security assessments to identify ways to improve detection and mitigation of future vulnerabilities. One approach that is gaining a lot of attention is DevSecOps.
  • DevSecOps introduces and automates security in the earlier phases of the software development life cycle rather than bolting it on at the end. The approach saves money, saves time on tedious manual tasks, helps organizations meet regulatory compliance requirements and significantly reduces the risk of critical security bugs being found after an application’s final build.
  • However, when it comes to kicking off DevSecOps projects, there are a few challenges application security teams need to overcome first to ensure their programs fit seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines.

  • Over 900,000 misconfigured Kubernetes clusters were found exposed on the internet to potentially malicious scans, some even vulnerable to data-exposing cyberattacks.
  • Kubernetes is a highly versatile open-source container orchestration system for hosting online services and managing containerized workloads via a uniform API interface.
  • It enjoys massive adoption and growth rates thanks to its scalability, flexibility in multi-cloud environments, portability, cost, app development, and system deployment time reductions.
  • If Kubernetes isn’t configured properly, remote actors might be able to access internal resources and private assets that weren’t meant to be made public.
  • Additionally, depending on the configuration, intruders could sometimes escalate their privileges from containers to break isolation and pivot to host processes, granting them intial access to internal corporate networks for futher attacks.

Kubernetes Security Compliance Frameworks

• armosec.io: Kubernetes Security Compliance Frameworks 🌟
  • The challenge of administering security and maintaining compliance in a Kubernetes ecosystem is typically the same: an increasingly dynamic, changing landscape, be it new approaches of cyberattacks or adhering to changing regulations. Kubernetes security requires a complex and multifaceted approach since an effective strategy needs to:
    • Ensure clean code
    • Provide full observability
    • Prevent the exchange of information with untrusted services
    • Produce digital signatures for clean code and trusted applications
  • Since Kubernetes follows a loosely coupled architecture, securing the ecosystem involves a cross-combination of best practices, tools, and processes. It is also recommended to consider frameworks that issue specific guidelines for easing the complexity of administering the security and compliance of a Kubernetes ecosystem. Such frameworks help organizations create flexible, iterative, and cost-effective approaches to keeping clusters and applications safe and compliant while ensuring optimum performance. A typical framework’s guidance on Kubernetes security and compliance should essentially consider:
    • Architecture best practices
    • Security within CI/CD pipelines
    • Resource protection
    • Container runtime protection
    • Supply chain security
    • Network security
    • Vulnerability scanning
    • Secrets management and protection

Source Code Audit

• securecoding.com: Code Audit: How to Ensure Compliance for an Application A source code audit is a process of analyzing the source code of an application with the objective of discovering security vulnerabilities, security design problems, and places of potential improvement in programming practices. After the analysis, a report is generated that is used to implement a range of measures that guarantee the security and reliability of the code. Code audits can be carried out in parallel with penetration tests. They can test the exploitability of code vulnerabilities to better estimate the risk they pose. Ideally, code audits are performed throughout the application lifecycle. The faster a vulnerability is discovered, the easier it is to fix!

The incidents run the gamut, from secrets published in the clear in public cloud code repositories to insecure third-party code to vulnerabilities in the organization’s own code or configurations.
• thorsten-hans.com: Encrypt your Kubernetes Secrets with Mozilla SOPS By default, Kubernetes Secrets (secrets) are stored with base64 encoding in YAML files. The lack of encryption for secrets often leads to the question of how to store secrets securely. Obviously, you don’t want to put your sensitive configuration data into a git repository, because it is just encoded. echo | base64 -d.
  • A typical solution is using services like Azure Key Vault, or HashiCorp Vault to persist sensitive data. Those services can be integrated with Kubernetes by using the Secrets Store CIS driver. However, relying on an additional service means that you have to manage and maintain that service in addition to Kubernetes. Additionally, depending on the service you use to store your sensitive data, some sensitive configuration must be stored somewhere to configure the CIS driver.
  • As an alternative, you can use Mozilla SOPS (SOPS) to encrypt and decrypt your Kubernetes secret files. Secrets that are encrypted via SOPS can be stored in source control. Encrypted secrets will be decrypted locally just before they’ll be deployed to Kubernetes. This article demonstrates how to encrypt and decrypt Kubernetes secrets (YAML files) using SOPS in combination with Azure Key Vault, which allows you to store your secrets along with other Kubernetes manifests directly in git.

The Apache Log4j2 CVE-2021-44228 node agent is an open source project built by the Kubernetes team at AWS. It is designed to run as a DaemonSet and mitigate the impact of Log4j2 CVE-2021-44228, which affects applications running Apache Log4j2 versions < 2.15.0 when processing inputs from untrusted sources. Running this DeamonSet will patch JVMs running in containers as well as on the host.
