Ensure that the Container Network Interface file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive

MediumLevel 1Manual reviewopenshift

Description

Ensure that the Container Network Interface files have permissions of 600 or more restrictive. The benchmark marks this recommendation Manual.

How it is checked

Audit method: Manual review

This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.

The Cluster Network Operator (CNO) deploys and manages the cluster network components on an OpenShift Container Platform cluster. This includes the Container Network Interface (CNI) default network provider plug-in selected for the cluster during installation. OpenShift Container Platform uses the Multus CNI plug-in to allow chaining of CNI plug-ins. The default Pod network must be configured during cluster installation. By default, the CNO deploys the OpenShift SDN as the default Pod network.

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

No remediation required; file permissions are managed by the operator.
