Abstract
A computer-implemented method for assessing latent security risks in Kubernetes clusters is provided including selecting a service account from a plurality of service accounts defined in namespaces of a cluster, binding a role to the selected service account based on predetermined role-binding data, and determining if the role meets at least one of a first, second, and third conditions based on predetermined role data defining permitted operations for roles, the first condition being that the role can receive secret tokens for pods within a namespace of the namespaces, the second condition being that the role can perform execution operation to other pods, and the third condition being that the role can create DaemonSet, Deployment, StatefulSet, and additional pods on the namespace.
