Overview


Type

enhancement


Description

  • Simplified the logic for checking privilege escalation in containers by removing the return of paths from is_allow_privilege_escalation_container.
  • Introduced a new function get_fix_path to generate fix paths for adjusting container security contexts.
  • Updated expected test outputs for CronJob, Pod, and Workloads to align with the new fix path generation approach.

    PR Review

    ⏱️ Estimated effort to review [1-5]

    2, because the changes are mostly structural and involve refactoring existing logic without adding significant new functionality. The changes are straightforward and localized to specific functions, making it easier to review.

    🧪 Relevant tests

    Yes

    🔍 Possible issues

    Possible Bug: The refactored is_allow_privilege_escalation_container function no longer returns any paths (failed or fixed), which were previously used to generate alert messages. This change could potentially affect how alerts are generated and displayed, missing out on providing specific paths that need attention.

    Consistency Issue: The removal of get_failed_path and get_fixed_path functions and the change in how fixPath is generated could lead to inconsistencies in how data is presented to the users, especially if other parts of the system still rely on the old structure.

    🔒 Security concerns

    No

    Enhancement
    Simplify the logic in the is_allow_privilege_escalation_container function.

    The conditions in the is_allow_privilege_escalation_container function seem to be overly
    complex and potentially redundant. Consider simplifying the logic by combining conditions
    that lead to the same outcome, and ensure that the logic accurately reflects the intended
    policy for handling privilege escalation in containers.

    rules/rule-allow-privilege-escalation/raw.rego [69-73]

     is_allow_privilege_escalation_container(container) {
    -    not container.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation == false
    -    not container.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation == true
    +    container.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation
         psps := [psp |  psp= input[_]; psp.kind == "PodSecurityPolicy"]
         count(psps) == 0
     }
     
    Make the get_fix_path function more flexible by parameterizing remediation values.

    The get_fix_path function creates fix paths with hardcoded "false" values for security
    context settings. Consider parameterizing these values or providing a mechanism to specify
    different remediation actions based on the policy or context.

    rules/rule-allow-privilege-escalation/raw.rego [100-102]

    -get_fix_path(i, start_of_path) = fixPath {
    -    fixPath = [{"path": sprintf("%vcontainers[%v].securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation", [start_of_path, i]), "value":"false"},
    -    {"path": sprintf("%vcontainers[%v].securityContext.privileged", [start_of_path, i]), "value":"false"}]
    +get_fix_path(i, start_of_path, escalationValue, privilegedValue) = fixPath {
    +    fixPath = [{"path": sprintf("%vcontainers[%v].securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation", [start_of_path, i]), "value": escalationValue},
    +    {"path": sprintf("%vcontainers[%v].securityContext.privileged", [start_of_path, i]), "value": privilegedValue}]
     }
     
    Streamline the logic for checking allowPrivilegeEscalation in the container security context.

    The logic for checking allowPrivilegeEscalation within
    is_allow_privilege_escalation_container seems to be contradictory or redundant.
    Specifically, checking for both not false and not true conditions could be streamlined to
    directly assess the desired policy enforcement.

    rules/rule-allow-privilege-escalation/raw.rego [69-71]

     is_allow_privilege_escalation_container(container) {
    -    not container.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation == false
    -    not container.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation == true
    +    container.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation == true
     }
     
    Maintainability
    Refactor repeated is_allow_privilege_escalation_container definitions into a single function.

    The repeated definitions of is_allow_privilege_escalation_container with slight variations
    for handling PodSecurityPolicies (PSPs) could be refactored into a single, more concise
    function that handles all cases. This would improve maintainability and readability.

    rules/rule-allow-privilege-escalation/raw.rego [69-83]

     is_allow_privilege_escalation_container(container) {
    -    not container.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation == false
    -    not container.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation == true
    +    container.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation
         psps := [psp |  psp= input[_]; psp.kind == "PodSecurityPolicy"]
    -    count(psps) == 0
    -}
    -is_allow_privilege_escalation_container(container) {
    -    not container.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation == false
    -    not container.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation == true
    -    psps := [psp |  psp= input[_]; psp.kind == "PodSecurityPolicy"]
    -    count(psps) > 0
    -    psp := psps[_]
    -    not psp.spec.allowPrivilegeEscalation == false
    +    count(psps) == 0 || (count(psps) > 0 && psp := psps[_]; not psp.spec.allowPrivilegeEscalation == false)
     }
     
    Best practice
    Add validation checks in get_fix_path to ensure the integrity of generated paths.

    Consider adding error handling or validation checks within get_fix_path to ensure that the
    indices and paths being generated are valid and do not lead to runtime errors or
    unintended behavior.

    rules/rule-allow-privilege-escalation/raw.rego [100-102]

     get_fix_path(i, start_of_path) = fixPath {
    +    # Validate i and start_of_path before proceeding
    +    assert(i >= 0, "Container index must be non-negative.")
    +    assert(start_of_path != "", "Start of path cannot be empty.")
         fixPath = [{"path": sprintf("%vcontainers[%v].securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation", [start_of_path, i]), "value":"false"},
         {"path": sprintf("%vcontainers[%v].securityContext.privileged", [start_of_path, i]), "value":"false"}]
     }
