About pod security standards and warnings
alexcorcoles
17 kwi 2023
(This material has been created with the inputs of instructors and other people. We are trying to get this material published as soon as possible to address some concerns with DO180 and DO280.)With the default configuration, any namespace that you create on OpenShift 4.12 has the following labels: pod-security.kubernetes.io/audit: restrictedpod-security.kubernetes.io/audit-version: v1.24pod-security.kubernetes.io/warn: restrictedpod-security.kubernetes.io/warn-version: v1.24 These labels activate auditing and warning of the restricted pod security standard. The Kubernetes documentation describes the restricted pod security standard. Pod security standards such as restricted are not directly related to security context constraints such as the restricted SCC.Kubernetes uses an admission controller to reject pods that do not comply with pod security standards. An admission controller is a Kubernetes component that inspects every Kubernetes resource before its creation, and acts before Kubernetes creates the resource. This action can include rejecting the creation of the resource, or modifying the resource.The pod security standards are policies that include properties that workloads must follow. For example, the restricted standard requires that containers set the securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation field to false.Pod security standards apply both to workloads, such as deployments and jobs, and to pods.When a pod is created, the admission controller inspects the container specifications and enumerates the fields that violate the pod security standard of the namespace. The admission controller inspects the pod-security labels in the namespace to decide which pod security standard to apply (restricted, baseline, or privileged), and which action to take on violations. Namespaces can audit, warn, or enforce pod security standard violations. When the pod-security.kubernetes.io/audit annotation is set to restricted, the admission controller prevents the creation of pods that violate the security standard. When the pod-security.kubernetes.io/audit and pod-security.kubernetes.io/warn annotations are defined in the project, the admission controller does not block the creation of pods, but registers audit events or warnings.The admission controller does not enforce pod security standards for workloads. If the namespace is configured to enforce a pod security standard, then you can create a violating workload. The admission controller enforces only pod security policies on pods.Cluster administrators can use pod security standards to ensure that pods and workloads in namespaces limit their privileges. By limiting privileges, cluster administrators can mitigate what malicious pods can do.The default configuration of user namespaces in OpenShift does not restrict any workload; it only notifies users when they create workloads that do not follow pod security standards that might be enforced in future OpenShift versions.Security Context ConstraintsOpenShift introduced security context constraints (SCC) before the introduction of pod security standards in Kubernetes. SCCs automatically make security modifications to pods when they are created. By default, the system:openshift:scc:restricted-v2 cluster role binding applies to all authenticated users, so regular user workloads use the restricted-v2 SCC. For example, when you execute the following command to create a workload without any security configuration, the SCC adds security configuration to the pods: [user@host ~]$ oc create deployment test --image registry.ocp4.example.com:8443/redhattraining/hello-world-nginx (You can add the --dry-run=client -o yaml options to view the deployment manifest. The deployment manifest does not contain the security properties, which are described later.)If you inspect the pods that the deployment created, the SCC makes the following changes: [user@host ~]$ oc get pod test-b8d5658b6-7bxfs -o yamlapiVersion: v1kind: Podmetadata: annotations:... output omitted... openshift.io/scc: restricted-v2 seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io/pod: runtime/default...output omitted...spec: containers: - image: registry.ocp4.example.com:8443/redhattraining/hello-world-nginx imagePullPolicy: Always name: hello-world-nginx resources: {} securityContext: allowPrivilegeEscalation: false capabilities: drop: - ALL runAsNonRoot: true runAsUser: 1000690000... output omitted... securityContext: fsGroup: 1000690000 seLinuxOptions: level: s0:c26,c20 seccompProfile: type: RuntimeDefault... output omitted... These restrictions satisfy the restricted pod security policy.The result of these defaults means that when creating a workload (such as a deployment) in a namespace without any customization, the restricted pod security standard applies, but the admission controller only warns and audits. If the workload does not satisfy the pod security standard, then the admission controller allows the workload to be created, but prints a message such as the following warning: Warning: would violate PodSecurity "restricted:v1.24": allowPrivilegeEscalation != false (container "example" must set securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation=false), unrestricted capabilities (container "example" must set securityContext.capabilities.drop=["ALL"]), runAsNonRoot != true (pod or container "database" must set securityContext.runAsNonRoot=true), seccompProfile (pod or container "example" must set securityContext.seccompProfile.type to "RuntimeDefault" or "Localhost") However, by default Kubernetes creates the deployment pods with the restricted-v2 SCC, with the restrictions that the previous warning included. Due to the following factors, workloads generate only a warning, and the pod security standard admission controller allows their pods:The pod security standard admission controller never enforces pod security standards on workloads (only on pods).By default, namespaces do not enforce pod security standards on pods.By default, regular workloads create pods by using the restricted-v2 SCC, which satisfies the restricted pod security standard.Even if future versions of OpenShift change the default namespace configuration to enforce the restricted pod security standard, users will continue to be able to create workloads without explicitly declaring the restrictions that the pod security standard requires, because the restricted-v2 SCC will apply such restrictions automatically.You can take the following approaches to handling pod security:For most workloads, the restricted-v2 SCC limits pod privileges adequately. When creating a workload, you receive the warning, but the workload creates pods and works correctly.You can also create your workloads by providing a full specification of the security constraints to apply, without relying on the SCC to provide the configuration. By following this approach, privileges are more explicit, and you have greater control, so you can adjust more precisely the specific privileges that are granted to workloads.When the restricted-v2 SCC and the default restricted pod security standard are not adequate for your workload, because either you require further privileges, or you need further restrictions, you must use an existing SCC, or create a custom SCC, and provide explicit security specifications. You can also adjust the namespace labels to choose a different pod security standard, and decide to audit, log, or enforce the standard.
