Description
A container platform usually consists of multiple nodes. It is important for these nodes to be uniquely identified before a connection is allowed. Without identifying the nodes, unidentified or unknown nodes may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity.
ℹ️ Check
Review the container platform configuration to determine if the container platform uniquely identifies all nodes before establishing a connection.
If the container platform is not configured to uniquely identify all nodes before establishing the connection, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Configure the container platform to uniquely identify all nodes before establishing the connection.
