| Description | ||||
| 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. | ||||

Details
Check Text (C-233070r960960_chk)
Review the container platform to verify that authentication files cannot be modified by non-privileged users.
If non-privileged users can modify key and certificate files, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-35974r600698_fix)
Configure the container platform to only allow authentication file modifications by privileged users.
