Kubernetes supports mounting secrets as data volumes or as environment variables. Minimize the use of environment variable secrets. Rationale: It is reasonably common for application code to log out its environment (particularly in the event of an error). This will include any secret values passed in as environment variables, so secrets can easily be exposed to any user or entity who has access to the logs. Impact: Application code which expects to read secrets in the form of environment variables would need modification NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
If possible, rewrite application code to read secrets from mounted secret files, rather than from environment variables. Default Value: By default, application secrets are not defined. In a default OpenShift 4 cluster, the following platform objects are returned Pod aws-ebs-csi-driver-controller-699844b6d7-2pl8k Pod aws-ebs-csi-driver-controller-6dcc794464-gnl6l Pod aws-ebs-csi-driver-controller-6dcc794464-kkhr9 Deployment aws-ebs-csi-driver-controller Deployment aws-ebs-csi-driver-controller ReplicaSet aws-ebs-csi-driver-controller-699844b6d7 ReplicaSet aws-ebs-csi-driver-controller-777d8fbb87 ReplicaSet aws-ebs-csi-driver-controller-658754b8c8 ReplicaSet aws-ebs-csi-driver-controller-6dcc794464
