This guide will walk through the various controls and provide updated example commands to audit compliance in Rancher-created clusters. + +This document is to be used by Rancher operators, security teams, auditors and decision makers. + +For more detail about each audit, including rationales and remediations for failing tests, you can refer to the corresponding section of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 1.6. You can download the benchmark after logging in to [CISecurity.org]( https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/). + +#### Testing controls methodology + +Rancher and RKE install Kubernetes services via Docker containers. Configuration is defined by arguments passed to the container at the time of initialization, not via configuration files. + +Where control audits differ from the original CIS benchmark, the audit commands specific to Rancher Labs are provided for testing. +When performing the tests, you will need access to the Docker command line on the hosts of all three RKE roles. The commands also make use of the the [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) and [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/) (with valid config) tools to and are required in the testing and evaluation of test results. + +### Controls + +## 1.1 Etcd Node Configuration Files +### 1.1.11 Ensure that the etcd data directory permissions are set to 700 or more restrictive (Automated) + +**Result:** pass + +**Remediation:** +On the etcd server node, get the etcd data directory, passed as an argument --data-dir, +from the below command: +ps -ef | grep etcd Run the below command (based on the etcd data directory found above).

This functionality requires a private IP to be provided when registering the custom nodes. +- When setting the `default_pod_security_policy_template_id:` to `restricted` Rancher creates **RoleBindings** and **ClusterRoleBindings** on the default service accounts. The CIS 1.6 5.1.5 check requires the default service accounts have no roles or cluster roles bound to it apart from the defaults. In addition the default service accounts should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments. + +### Configure Kernel Runtime Parameters + +The following `sysctl` configuration is recommended for all nodes type in the cluster.

Where access to the Kubernetes API from a pod is required, a specific service account should be created for that pod, and rights granted to that service account. The default service account should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments. + +For each namespace including **default** and **kube-system** on a standard RKE install the **default** service account must include this value: + +```yaml +automountServiceAccountToken: false +``` + +Save the following yaml to a file called `account_update.yaml` + +```yaml +apiVersion: v1 +kind: ServiceAccount +metadata: + name: default +automountServiceAccountToken: false +``` + +Create a bash script file called `account_update.sh`. Be sure to `chmod +x account_update.sh` so the script has execute permissions. + +```bash +#!/bin/bash -e + +for namespace in $(kubectl get namespaces -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata.name'); do + kubectl patch serviceaccount default -n ${namespace} -p "$(cat account_update.yaml)" +done +``` + +### Ensure that all Namespaces have Network Policies defined + +Running different applications on the same Kubernetes cluster creates a risk of one +compromised application attacking a neighboring application. Network segmentation is +important to ensure that containers can communicate only with those they are supposed +to. A network policy is a specification of how selections of pods are allowed to +communicate with each other and other network endpoints. + +Network Policies are namespace scoped. When a network policy is introduced to a given +namespace, all traffic not allowed by the policy is denied. However, if there are no network +policies in a namespace all traffic will be allowed into and out of the pods in that +namespace. To enforce network policies, a CNI (container network interface) plugin must be enabled. +This guide uses [canal](https://github.com/projectcalico/canal) to provide the policy enforcement. +Additional information about CNI providers can be found +[here](https://rancher.com/blog/2019/2019-03-21-comparing-kubernetes-cni-providers-flannel-calico-canal-and-weave/) + +Once a CNI provider is enabled on a cluster a default network policy can be applied. For reference purposes a +**permissive** example is provide below. If you want to allow all traffic to all pods in a namespace +(even if policies are added that cause some pods to be treated as “isolated”), +you can create a policy that explicitly allows all traffic in that namespace. Save the following `yaml` as +`default-allow-all.yaml`. Additional [documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/) +about network policies can be found on the Kubernetes site. + +> This `NetworkPolicy` is not recommended for production use + +```yaml +--- +apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 +kind: NetworkPolicy +metadata: + name: default-allow-all +spec: + podSelector: {} + ingress: + - {} + egress: + - {} + policyTypes: + - Ingress + - Egress +``` + +Create a bash script file called `apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh`. Be sure to +`chmod +x apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh` so the script has execute permissions. + +```bash +#!/bin/bash -e + +for namespace in $(kubectl get namespaces -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata.name'); do + kubectl apply -f default-allow-all.yaml -n ${namespace} +done +``` + +Execute this script to apply the `default-allow-all.yaml` the **permissive** `NetworkPolicy` to all namespaces. + +### Reference Hardened RKE `cluster.yml` configuration + +The reference `cluster.yml` is used by the RKE CLI that provides the configuration needed to achieve a hardened install +of Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE).
