Description
Privileged ports are ports below 1024 that require system privileges for their use. If containers are able to use these ports, the container must be run as a privileged user. The container platform must stop containers that try to map to these ports directly. Allowing nonprivileged ports to be mapped to the container-privileged port is the allowable method when a certain port is needed. Prisma Cloud Compute default TCP ports are 8083 (Console UI and API) and 8084 (Console-to-Defender communication). To use TCP ports below 1024, the Console would have to be configured to use privileged ports.
ℹ️ Check
For Kubernetes deployment:
Query the ports used by the twistlock-console service:
$ kubectl describe svc twistlock-console -n twistlock
If any port number is below 1024, this is a finding.
For Docker deployment:
Determine the name of the Console container:
docker ps|grep console
For example, the Console container is: ad8b41a2fec9
ad8b41a2fec9
twistlock/private:console_22_01_840
Inspect the container's PortBindings:
docker inspect ad8b41a2fec9|grep PortBindings -A 20
If the port is below 1024, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
For Kubernetes deployment:
Edit the deployment.apps/twistlock-console.
Find the - name: TargetPorts below 1024.
Change to port number above 1024.
Save and exit the editing session. The Console will restart automatically.
For Docker deployment:
Modify the twistlock.cfg located in the extracted release tar directory.
Change any port assignment below 1024 to above 1024:
MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTP=
MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTPS=8083
COMMUNICATION_PORT=8084
Redeploy the Console using the twistlock.sh script in the extracted release tar directory:
$ sudo ./twisltock.sh -sy onebox
