Restrict exec access to the pods
MediumLevel 1Manual reviewopenshift-virt
Description
The ability to exec commands in a pod allows for arbitrary execution by users. This includes administrative functions which normally require elevation of privileges by an approved administrator, and could lead to unauthorized use of both security and non - security related administrative functions. The benchmark marks this recommendation Manual; TMAegis reports it as a manual review item with the audit steps.
How it is checked

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

How it is fixed
