A recent KubeHA security posture scan surfaced the following runtime and configuration risks:
- Privileged Pods: 7
- Pods running as root: 3
- Secrets exposure: 1
- RBAC misconfigurations: None detected
Why SREs should care
- Privileged pods bypass key kernel isolation boundaries and significantly expand the failure and attack surface
- Containers running as UID 0 remain one of the most common causes of escalation paths in Kubernetes breaches
- Even a single exposed secret can compromise workloads, CI/CD pipelines, or control-plane access
- Clean RBAC indicates strong identity scoping – but needs continuous verification as clusters evolve
What KubeHA does differently
KubeHA continuously correlates:
- Security context & pod spec configs
- Runtime behavior and cluster events
- RBAC state, secrets usage, and config drift
…to highlight real risk, not just noisy violations.
This enables SRE teams to:
catch risky workloads early prevent drift from baseline security standards prioritize fixes based on blast radius and impact
Kubernetes security is not a point-in-time scan.
It’s a continuous reliability problem.
