Title

The container platform must audit the execution of privileged functions. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Privileged functions within the container platform can be component specific or can envelope the entire container platform. Because of the nature of the commands, it is important to understand what command was executed for either investigation of an incident or for debugging/error correction; therefore, privileged function execution must be audited.

Check Content

Review container platform documentation and log configuration to verify the application server logs privileged activity. If the container platform is not configured to log privileged activity, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the container platform to log privileged activity.
