Container Network Interface file permissions (--cni-conf-dir)

[francislance]

Overview

Got this result after the run:

[WARN] 1.1.9 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Manual)
[WARN] 1.1.10 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file ownership is set to root:root (Manual)

How did you run kube-bench?

Run as Kubernetes Job using this manifest: https://github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench/blob/main/job-master.yaml

What happened?

The exact command that kube-bench is currently running is ps -ef | grep kubelet | grep -- --cni-conf-dir | sed 's%.cni-conf-dir[= ]\\([^ ]\\).*%\\1%' | xargs -I{} find {} -mindepth 1 | xargs --no-run-if-empty stat -c permissions=%a\nfind /var/lib/cni/networks -type f 2> /dev/null | xargs --no-run-if-empty stat -c permissions=%a

In the above command ps -ef | grep kubelet | grep -- --cni-conf-dir is expected not to return anything causing the audit to report as warning. --cni-conf-dir already deprecated? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72106699/is-cni-bin-dir-still-effective-on-v1-24-or-any-replace-document-exist

What did you expect to happen:

Improve the command so that WARN would be returned in the report. Probably remove it or update to inspect /opt/cni or /opt/cni/bin
