Ensure that the default administrative credential file ownership is set to root:root

CriticalLevel 1Automatedkubernetes

Description

Ensure that the admin.conf (and super-admin.conf file, where it exists) file ownership is set to root:root.

How it is checked

Audit method: Shell command

shell
set -f
ok=1; n=0
for f in /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf /etc/kubernetes/super-admin.conf; do
  [ -e "$f" ] || continue; n=$((n+1))
  o=$(stat -Lc %U:%G "$f") || exit 1
  if [ "$o" != "root:root" ]; then echo "noncompliant: $f $o"; ok=0; fi
done
[ "$n" -gt 0 ] || exit 1
if [ "$ok" -eq 1 ]; then echo compliant; fi
Expected output
compliant

How it is fixed

Fix method: Shell command

shell
if [ -e /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf ]; then chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf; fi; if [ -e /etc/kubernetes/super-admin.conf ]; then chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/super-admin.conf; fi
