This benchmark guide helps you evaluate the security of a hardened cluster against each control in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. - -This guide corresponds to the following versions of Rancher, CIS Benchmarks, and Kubernetes: - -| Rancher Version | CIS Benchmark Version | Kubernetes Version | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.23 | Kubernetes v1.23 | - -This document is for Rancher operators, security teams, auditors and decision makers. - -For more information about each control, including detailed descriptions and remediations for failing tests, refer to the corresponding section of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.23. You can download the benchmark, after creating a free account, at [Center for Internet Security (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/). - -## Testing Methodology - -Each control in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark was evaluated against a K3s cluster that was configured according to the accompanying hardening guide. - -Where control audits differ from the original CIS benchmark, the audit commands specific to K3s are provided for testing. - -These are the possible results for each control: - -- **Pass** - The K3s cluster passes the audit outlined in the benchmark. -- **Not Applicable** - The control is not applicable to K3s because of how it is designed to operate. The remediation section explains why. -- **Warn** - The control is manual in the CIS benchmark and it depends on the cluster's use-case or some other factor that must be determined by the cluster operator. These controls have been evaluated to ensure K3s doesn't prevent their implementation, but no further configuration or auditing of the cluster has been performed. - -This guide makes the assumption that K3s is running as a Systemd unit. Your installation may vary. Adjust the "audit" commands to fit your scenario. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.3 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.4 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.5 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.6 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.7 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chmod 644 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.8 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.9 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 - -### 1.1.10 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file ownership is set to root:root (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root - -### 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 command 'ps -ef | grep etcd'. -Run the below command (based on the etcd data directory found above).

The remediation section explains why. -- **Warn** - The control is manual in the CIS benchmark and it depends on the cluster's use-case or some other factor that must be determined by the cluster operator. These controls have been evaluated to ensure K3s doesn't prevent their implementation, but no further configuration or auditing of the cluster has been performed. - -This guide makes the assumption that K3s is running as a Systemd unit. Your installation may vary. Adjust the "audit" commands to fit your scenario. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.3 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.4 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.5 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.6 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.7 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.8 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.9 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 - -### 1.1.10 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file ownership is set to root:root (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root - -### 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 command 'ps -ef | grep etcd'. -Run the below command (based on the etcd data directory found above).

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 are provided for testing. When performing the tests, you will need access to the command line on the hosts of all RKE nodes. The commands also make use of the [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) (with a valid configuration file) and [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) tools, which are required in the testing and evaluation of test results. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - -## 1.1 Master Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Cluster provisioned by RKE doesn't require or maintain a configuration file for kube-apiserver. -All configuration is passed in as arguments at container run time. - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Cluster provisioned by RKE doesn't require or maintain a configuration file for kube-apiserver. -All configuration is passed in as arguments at container run time. - -### 1.1.3 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Cluster provisioned by RKE doesn't require or maintain a configuration file for controller-manager. -All configuration is passed in as arguments at container run time. - -### 1.1.4 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Cluster provisioned by RKE doesn't require or maintain a configuration file for controller-manager. -All configuration is passed in as arguments at container run time. - -### 1.1.5 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Cluster provisioned by RKE doesn't require or maintain a configuration file for scheduler. -All configuration is passed in as arguments at container run time. - -### 1.1.6 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Cluster provisioned by RKE doesn't require or maintain a configuration file for scheduler. -All configuration is passed in as arguments at container run time. - -### 1.1.7 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Cluster provisioned by RKE doesn't require or maintain a configuration file for etcd. -All configuration is passed in as arguments at container run time. - -### 1.1.8 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Cluster provisioned by RKE doesn't require or maintain a configuration file for etcd. -All configuration is passed in as arguments at container run time. - -### 1.1.9 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** warn - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 - -**Audit:** - -```bash -ps -fC ${kubeletbin:-kubelet} | grep -- --cni-conf-dir || echo "/etc/cni/net.d" | sed 's%.*cni-conf-dir[= ]\([^ ]*\).*%\1%' | xargs -I{} find {} -mindepth 1 | xargs --no-run-if-empty stat -c permissions=%a find /var/lib/cni/networks -type f 2> /dev/null | xargs --no-run-if-empty stat -c permissions=%a -``` - -**Expected Result**: - -```console -'permissions' is present -``` - -**Returned Value**: - -```console -root 5730 5709 4 21:34 ?

When performing the tests, you will need access to the command line on the hosts of all RKE nodes.

This benchmark guide helps you evaluate the security of a hardened cluster against each control in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. - -This guide corresponds to the following versions of Rancher, CIS Benchmarks, and Kubernetes: - -| Rancher Version | CIS Benchmark Version | Kubernetes Version | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.24 | Kubernetes v1.24 | - -This guide walks through the various controls and provide updated example commands to audit compliance in Rancher created clusters. Because Rancher and RKE2 install Kubernetes services as Docker containers, many of the control verification checks in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark don't apply. These checks will return a result of `Not Applicable`. - -This document is for Rancher operators, security teams, auditors and decision makers. - -For more information about each control, including detailed descriptions and remediations for failing tests, refer to the corresponding section of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.24. You can download the benchmark, after creating a free account, at [Center for Internet Security (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/). - -## Testing Methodology - -RKE2 launches control plane components as static pods, managed by the kubelet, and uses containerd as the container runtime. Configuration is defined by arguments passed to the container at the time of initialization or via configuration file. - -Where control audits differ from the original CIS benchmark, the audit commands specific to Rancher are provided for testing. When performing the tests, you will need access to the command line on the hosts of all RKE2 nodes. The commands also make use of the [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) (with a valid configuration file) and [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) tools, which are required in the testing and evaluation of test results. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** pass - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -**Audit:** - -```bash -stat -c permissions=%a /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml -``` - -**Expected Result**: - -```console -permissions has permissions 644, expected 644 or more restrictive -``` - -**Returned Value**: - -```console -permissions=644 -``` - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** pass - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -**Audit:** - -```bash -/bin/sh -c 'if test -e /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml;

-本指南对应以下版本的 Rancher、CIS Benchmarks 和 Kubernetes： - -| Rancher 版本 | CIS Benchmark 版本 | Kubernetes 版本 | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.23 | Kubernetes v1.23 | - -本指南将介绍各种 controls，并提供更新的示例命令来审计 Rancher 创建的集群中的合规性。由于 Rancher 和 RKE 将 Kubernetes 服务安装为 Docker 容器，因此 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 中的许多 control 验证检查不适用。这些检查将返回 `Not Applicable` 的结果。 - -本文档适用于 Rancher 运维人员、安全团队、审计员和决策者。 - -有关每个 control 的更多信息，包括详细描述和未通过测试的补救措施，请参考 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.23 的相应部分。你可以在[互联网安全中心 (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/)创建免费账户后下载 benchmark。 - -## 测试方法 - -Rancher 和 RKE 通过 Docker 容器安装 Kubernetes 服务。配置是通过初始化时传递给容器的参数定义的，而不是通过配置文件。 - -在 control 审计与原始 CIS benchmark 不同时，提供了针对 Rancher 的特定审计命令以进行测试。在执行测试时，你将需要访问所有 RKE 节点主机上的命令行。这些命令还使用了 [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)（带有有效的配置文件）和 [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) 工具，在测试和评估测试结果时这些工具是必需的。 -

-本指南对应以下版本的 Rancher、CIS Benchmarks 和 Kubernetes： - -| Rancher 版本 | CIS Benchmark 版本 | Kubernetes 版本 | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.24 | Kubernetes v1.24 | - -本指南将介绍各种 controls，并提供更新的示例命令来审计 Rancher 创建的集群中的合规性。由于 Rancher 和 RKE 将 Kubernetes 服务安装为 Docker 容器，因此 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 中的许多 control 验证检查不适用。这些检查将返回 `Not Applicable` 的结果。 - -本文档适用于 Rancher 运维人员、安全团队、审计员和决策者。 - -有关每个 control 的更多信息，包括详细描述和未通过测试的补救措施，请参考 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.24 的相应部分。你可以在[互联网安全中心 (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/)创建免费账户后下载 benchmark。 - -## 测试方法 - -Rancher 和 RKE 通过 Docker 容器安装 Kubernetes 服务。配置是通过初始化时传递给容器的参数定义的，而不是通过配置文件。 - -在 control 审计与原始 CIS benchmark 不同时，提供了针对 Rancher 的特定审计命令以进行测试。在执行测试时，你将需要访问所有 RKE 节点主机上的命令行。这些命令还使用了 [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)（带有有效的配置文件）和 [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) 工具，在测试和评估测试结果时这些工具是必需的。 -

-本指南对应以下版本的 Rancher、CIS Benchmarks 和 Kubernetes： - -| Rancher 版本 | CIS Benchmark 版本 | Kubernetes 版本 | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.23 | Kubernetes v1.23 | - -本指南将介绍各种 controls，并提供更新的示例命令来审计 Rancher 创建的集群中的合规性。由于 Rancher 和 RKE 将 Kubernetes 服务安装为 Docker 容器，因此 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 中的许多 control 验证检查不适用。这些检查将返回 `Not Applicable` 的结果。 - -本文档适用于 Rancher 运维人员、安全团队、审计员和决策者。 - -有关每个 control 的更多信息，包括详细描述和未通过测试的补救措施，请参考 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.23 的相应部分。你可以在[互联网安全中心 (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/)创建免费账户后下载 benchmark。 - -## 测试方法 - -Rancher 和 RKE 通过 Docker 容器安装 Kubernetes 服务。配置是通过初始化时传递给容器的参数定义的，而不是通过配置文件。 - -在 control 审计与原始 CIS benchmark 不同时，提供了针对 Rancher 的特定审计命令以进行测试。在执行测试时，你将需要访问所有 RKE 节点主机上的命令行。这些命令还使用了 [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)（带有有效的配置文件）和 [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) 工具，在测试和评估测试结果时这些工具是必需的。 -

-本指南将介绍各种 controls，并提供更新的示例命令来审计 Rancher 创建的集群中的合规性。由于 Rancher 和 RKE 将 Kubernetes 服务安装为 Docker 容器，因此 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 中的许多 control 验证检查不适用。这些检查将返回 `Not Applicable` 的结果。 - -本文档适用于 Rancher 运维人员、安全团队、审计员和决策者。 - -有关每个 control 的更多信息，包括详细描述和未通过测试的补救措施，请参考 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.24 的相应部分。你可以在[互联网安全中心 (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/)创建免费账户后下载 benchmark。 - -## 测试方法 - -Rancher 和 RKE 通过 Docker 容器安装 Kubernetes 服务。配置是通过初始化时传递给容器的参数定义的，而不是通过配置文件。 - -在 control 审计与原始 CIS benchmark 不同时，提供了针对 Rancher 的特定审计命令以进行测试。在执行测试时，你将需要访问所有 RKE 节点主机上的命令行。这些命令还使用了 [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)（带有有效的配置文件）和 [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) 工具，在测试和评估测试结果时这些工具是必需的。 -

-本指南对应以下版本的 Rancher、CIS Benchmarks 和 Kubernetes： - -| Rancher 版本 | CIS Benchmark 版本 | Kubernetes 版本 | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.23 | Kubernetes v1.23 | - -本指南将介绍各种 controls，并提供更新的示例命令来审计 Rancher 创建的集群中的合规性。由于 Rancher 和 RKE 将 Kubernetes 服务安装为 Docker 容器，因此 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 中的许多 control 验证检查不适用。这些检查将返回 `Not Applicable` 的结果。 - -本文档适用于 Rancher 运维人员、安全团队、审计员和决策者。 - -有关每个 control 的更多信息，包括详细描述和未通过测试的补救措施，请参考 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.23 的相应部分。你可以在[互联网安全中心 (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/)创建免费账户后下载 benchmark。 - -## 测试方法 - -Rancher 和 RKE 通过 Docker 容器安装 Kubernetes 服务。配置是通过初始化时传递给容器的参数定义的，而不是通过配置文件。 - -在 control 审计与原始 CIS benchmark 不同时，提供了针对 Rancher 的特定审计命令以进行测试。在执行测试时，你将需要访问所有 RKE 节点主机上的命令行。这些命令还使用了 [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)（带有有效的配置文件）和 [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) 工具，在测试和评估测试结果时这些工具是必需的。 -

-本指南将介绍各种 controls，并提供更新的示例命令来审计 Rancher 创建的集群中的合规性。由于 Rancher 和 RKE 将 Kubernetes 服务安装为 Docker 容器，因此 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 中的许多 control 验证检查不适用。这些检查将返回 `Not Applicable` 的结果。 - -本文档适用于 Rancher 运维人员、安全团队、审计员和决策者。 - -有关每个 control 的更多信息，包括详细描述和未通过测试的补救措施，请参考 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.24 的相应部分。你可以在[互联网安全中心 (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/)创建免费账户后下载 benchmark。 - -## 测试方法 - -Rancher 和 RKE 通过 Docker 容器安装 Kubernetes 服务。配置是通过初始化时传递给容器的参数定义的，而不是通过配置文件。 - -在 control 审计与原始 CIS benchmark 不同时，提供了针对 Rancher 的特定审计命令以进行测试。在执行测试时，你将需要访问所有 RKE 节点主机上的命令行。这些命令还使用了 [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)（带有有效的配置文件）和 [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) 工具，在测试和评估测试结果时这些工具是必需的。 -

-本指南对应以下版本的 Rancher、CIS Benchmarks 和 Kubernetes： - -| Rancher 版本 | CIS Benchmark 版本 | Kubernetes 版本 | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.23 | Kubernetes v1.23 | - -本指南将介绍各种 controls，并提供更新的示例命令来审计 Rancher 创建的集群中的合规性。由于 Rancher 和 RKE 将 Kubernetes 服务安装为 Docker 容器，因此 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 中的许多 control 验证检查不适用。这些检查将返回 `Not Applicable` 的结果。 - -本文档适用于 Rancher 运维人员、安全团队、审计员和决策者。 - -有关每个 control 的更多信息，包括详细描述和未通过测试的补救措施，请参考 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.23 的相应部分。你可以在[互联网安全中心 (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/)创建免费账户后下载 benchmark。 - -## 测试方法 - -Rancher 和 RKE 通过 Docker 容器安装 Kubernetes 服务。配置是通过初始化时传递给容器的参数定义的，而不是通过配置文件。 - -在 control 审计与原始 CIS benchmark 不同时，提供了针对 Rancher 的特定审计命令以进行测试。在执行测试时，你将需要访问所有 RKE 节点主机上的命令行。这些命令还使用了 [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)（带有有效的配置文件）和 [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) 工具，在测试和评估测试结果时这些工具是必需的。 -

-本指南将介绍各种 controls，并提供更新的示例命令来审计 Rancher 创建的集群中的合规性。由于 Rancher 和 RKE 将 Kubernetes 服务安装为 Docker 容器，因此 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 中的许多 control 验证检查不适用。这些检查将返回 `Not Applicable` 的结果。 - -本文档适用于 Rancher 运维人员、安全团队、审计员和决策者。 - -有关每个 control 的更多信息，包括详细描述和未通过测试的补救措施，请参考 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.24 的相应部分。你可以在[互联网安全中心 (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/)创建免费账户后下载 benchmark。 - -## 测试方法 - -Rancher 和 RKE 通过 Docker 容器安装 Kubernetes 服务。配置是通过初始化时传递给容器的参数定义的，而不是通过配置文件。 - -在 control 审计与原始 CIS benchmark 不同时，提供了针对 Rancher 的特定审计命令以进行测试。在执行测试时，你将需要访问所有 RKE 节点主机上的命令行。这些命令还使用了 [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)（带有有效的配置文件）和 [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) 工具，在测试和评估测试结果时这些工具是必需的。 -

-本指南对应以下版本的 Rancher、CIS Benchmarks 和 Kubernetes： - -| Rancher 版本 | CIS Benchmark 版本 | Kubernetes 版本 | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.23 | Kubernetes v1.23 | - -本指南将介绍各种 controls，并提供更新的示例命令来审计 Rancher 创建的集群中的合规性。由于 Rancher 和 RKE 将 Kubernetes 服务安装为 Docker 容器，因此 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 中的许多 control 验证检查不适用。这些检查将返回 `Not Applicable` 的结果。 - -本文档适用于 Rancher 运维人员、安全团队、审计员和决策者。 - -有关每个 control 的更多信息，包括详细描述和未通过测试的补救措施，请参考 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.23 的相应部分。你可以在[互联网安全中心 (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/)创建免费账户后下载 benchmark。 - -## 测试方法 - -Rancher 和 RKE 通过 Docker 容器安装 Kubernetes 服务。配置是通过初始化时传递给容器的参数定义的，而不是通过配置文件。 - -在 control 审计与原始 CIS benchmark 不同时，提供了针对 Rancher 的特定审计命令以进行测试。在执行测试时，你将需要访问所有 RKE 节点主机上的命令行。这些命令还使用了 [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)（带有有效的配置文件）和 [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) 工具，在测试和评估测试结果时这些工具是必需的。 -

-本指南将介绍各种 controls，并提供更新的示例命令来审计 Rancher 创建的集群中的合规性。由于 Rancher 和 RKE 将 Kubernetes 服务安装为 Docker 容器，因此 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 中的许多 control 验证检查不适用。这些检查将返回 `Not Applicable` 的结果。 - -本文档适用于 Rancher 运维人员、安全团队、审计员和决策者。 - -有关每个 control 的更多信息，包括详细描述和未通过测试的补救措施，请参考 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.24 的相应部分。你可以在[互联网安全中心 (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/)创建免费账户后下载 benchmark。 - -## 测试方法 - -Rancher 和 RKE 通过 Docker 容器安装 Kubernetes 服务。配置是通过初始化时传递给容器的参数定义的，而不是通过配置文件。 - -在 control 审计与原始 CIS benchmark 不同时，提供了针对 Rancher 的特定审计命令以进行测试。在执行测试时，你将需要访问所有 RKE 节点主机上的命令行。这些命令还使用了 [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)（带有有效的配置文件）和 [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) 工具，在测试和评估测试结果时这些工具是必需的。 -

-本指南对应以下版本的 Rancher、CIS Benchmarks 和 Kubernetes： - -| Rancher 版本 | CIS Benchmark 版本 | Kubernetes 版本 | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.23 | Kubernetes v1.23 | - -本指南将介绍各种 controls，并提供更新的示例命令来审计 Rancher 创建的集群中的合规性。由于 Rancher 和 RKE 将 Kubernetes 服务安装为 Docker 容器，因此 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 中的许多 control 验证检查不适用。这些检查将返回 `Not Applicable` 的结果。 - -本文档适用于 Rancher 运维人员、安全团队、审计员和决策者。 - -有关每个 control 的更多信息，包括详细描述和未通过测试的补救措施，请参考 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.23 的相应部分。你可以在[互联网安全中心 (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/)创建免费账户后下载 benchmark。 - -## 测试方法 - -Rancher 和 RKE 通过 Docker 容器安装 Kubernetes 服务。配置是通过初始化时传递给容器的参数定义的，而不是通过配置文件。 - -在 control 审计与原始 CIS benchmark 不同时，提供了针对 Rancher 的特定审计命令以进行测试。在执行测试时，你将需要访问所有 RKE 节点主机上的命令行。这些命令还使用了 [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)（带有有效的配置文件）和 [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) 工具，在测试和评估测试结果时这些工具是必需的。 -

-本指南将介绍各种 controls，并提供更新的示例命令来审计 Rancher 创建的集群中的合规性。由于 Rancher 和 RKE 将 Kubernetes 服务安装为 Docker 容器，因此 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 中的许多 control 验证检查不适用。这些检查将返回 `Not Applicable` 的结果。 - -本文档适用于 Rancher 运维人员、安全团队、审计员和决策者。 - -有关每个 control 的更多信息，包括详细描述和未通过测试的补救措施，请参考 CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.24 的相应部分。你可以在[互联网安全中心 (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/)创建免费账户后下载 benchmark。 - -## 测试方法 - -Rancher 和 RKE 通过 Docker 容器安装 Kubernetes 服务。配置是通过初始化时传递给容器的参数定义的，而不是通过配置文件。 - -在 control 审计与原始 CIS benchmark 不同时，提供了针对 Rancher 的特定审计命令以进行测试。在执行测试时，你将需要访问所有 RKE 节点主机上的命令行。这些命令还使用了 [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)（带有有效的配置文件）和 [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) 工具，在测试和评估测试结果时这些工具是必需的。 -

The remediation section explains why. -- **Warn** - The control is manual in the CIS benchmark and it depends on the cluster's use-case or some other factor that must be determined by the cluster operator. These controls have been evaluated to ensure K3s doesn't prevent their implementation, but no further configuration or auditing of the cluster has been performed. - -This guide makes the assumption that K3s is running as a Systemd unit. Your installation may vary. Adjust the "audit" commands to fit your scenario. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.3 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.4 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.5 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.6 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.7 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.8 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.9 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 - -### 1.1.10 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file ownership is set to root:root (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root - -### 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 command 'ps -ef | grep etcd'. -Run the below command (based on the etcd data directory found above).

This benchmark guide helps you evaluate the security of a hardened cluster against each control in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. - -This guide corresponds to the following versions of Rancher, CIS Benchmarks, and Kubernetes: - -| Rancher Version | CIS Benchmark Version | Kubernetes Version | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.24 | Kubernetes v1.24 | - -This guide walks through the various controls and provide updated example commands to audit compliance in Rancher created clusters. Because Rancher and RKE2 install Kubernetes services as Docker containers, many of the control verification checks in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark don't apply. These checks will return a result of `Not Applicable`. - -This document is for Rancher operators, security teams, auditors and decision makers. - -For more information about each control, including detailed descriptions and remediations for failing tests, refer to the corresponding section of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.24. You can download the benchmark, after creating a free account, at [Center for Internet Security (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/). - -## Testing Methodology - -RKE2 launches control plane components as static pods, managed by the kubelet, and uses containerd as the container runtime. Configuration is defined by arguments passed to the container at the time of initialization or via configuration file. - -Where control audits differ from the original CIS benchmark, the audit commands specific to Rancher are provided for testing. When performing the tests, you will need access to the command line on the hosts of all RKE2 nodes. The commands also make use of the [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) (with a valid configuration file) and [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) tools, which are required in the testing and evaluation of test results. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** pass - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -**Audit:** - -```bash -stat -c permissions=%a /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml -``` - -**Expected Result**: - -```console -permissions has permissions 644, expected 644 or more restrictive -``` - -**Returned Value**: - -```console -permissions=644 -``` - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** pass - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -**Audit:** - -```bash -/bin/sh -c 'if test -e /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml;

The remediation section explains why. -- **Warn** - The control is manual in the CIS benchmark and it depends on the cluster's use-case or some other factor that must be determined by the cluster operator. These controls have been evaluated to ensure K3s doesn't prevent their implementation, but no further configuration or auditing of the cluster has been performed. - -This guide makes the assumption that K3s is running as a Systemd unit. Your installation may vary. Adjust the "audit" commands to fit your scenario. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.3 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.4 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.5 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.6 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.7 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.8 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.9 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 - -### 1.1.10 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file ownership is set to root:root (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root - -### 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 command 'ps -ef | grep etcd'. -Run the below command (based on the etcd data directory found above).

This benchmark guide helps you evaluate the security of a hardened cluster against each control in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. - -This guide corresponds to the following versions of Rancher, CIS Benchmarks, and Kubernetes: - -| Rancher Version | CIS Benchmark Version | Kubernetes Version | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.24 | Kubernetes v1.24 | - -This guide walks through the various controls and provide updated example commands to audit compliance in Rancher created clusters. Because Rancher and RKE2 install Kubernetes services as Docker containers, many of the control verification checks in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark don't apply. These checks will return a result of `Not Applicable`. - -This document is for Rancher operators, security teams, auditors and decision makers. - -For more information about each control, including detailed descriptions and remediations for failing tests, refer to the corresponding section of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.24. You can download the benchmark, after creating a free account, at [Center for Internet Security (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/). - -## Testing Methodology - -RKE2 launches control plane components as static pods, managed by the kubelet, and uses containerd as the container runtime. Configuration is defined by arguments passed to the container at the time of initialization or via configuration file. - -Where control audits differ from the original CIS benchmark, the audit commands specific to Rancher are provided for testing. When performing the tests, you will need access to the command line on the hosts of all RKE2 nodes. The commands also make use of the [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) (with a valid configuration file) and [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) tools, which are required in the testing and evaluation of test results. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** pass - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -**Audit:** - -```bash -stat -c permissions=%a /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml -``` - -**Expected Result**: - -```console -permissions has permissions 644, expected 644 or more restrictive -``` - -**Returned Value**: - -```console -permissions=644 -``` - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** pass - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -**Audit:** - -```bash -/bin/sh -c 'if test -e /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml;

The remediation section explains why. -- **Warn** - The control is manual in the CIS benchmark and it depends on the cluster's use-case or some other factor that must be determined by the cluster operator. These controls have been evaluated to ensure K3s doesn't prevent their implementation, but no further configuration or auditing of the cluster has been performed. - -This guide makes the assumption that K3s is running as a Systemd unit. Your installation may vary. Adjust the "audit" commands to fit your scenario. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.3 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.4 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.5 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.6 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.7 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.8 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.9 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 - -### 1.1.10 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file ownership is set to root:root (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root - -### 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 command 'ps -ef | grep etcd'. -Run the below command (based on the etcd data directory found above).

This benchmark guide helps you evaluate the security of a hardened cluster against each control in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. - -This guide corresponds to the following versions of Rancher, CIS Benchmarks, and Kubernetes: - -| Rancher Version | CIS Benchmark Version | Kubernetes Version | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.24 | Kubernetes v1.24 | - -This guide walks through the various controls and provide updated example commands to audit compliance in Rancher created clusters. Because Rancher and RKE2 install Kubernetes services as Docker containers, many of the control verification checks in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark don't apply. These checks will return a result of `Not Applicable`. - -This document is for Rancher operators, security teams, auditors and decision makers. - -For more information about each control, including detailed descriptions and remediations for failing tests, refer to the corresponding section of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.24. You can download the benchmark, after creating a free account, at [Center for Internet Security (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/). - -## Testing Methodology - -RKE2 launches control plane components as static pods, managed by the kubelet, and uses containerd as the container runtime. Configuration is defined by arguments passed to the container at the time of initialization or via configuration file. - -Where control audits differ from the original CIS benchmark, the audit commands specific to Rancher are provided for testing. When performing the tests, you will need access to the command line on the hosts of all RKE2 nodes. The commands also make use of the [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) (with a valid configuration file) and [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) tools, which are required in the testing and evaluation of test results. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** pass - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -**Audit:** - -```bash -stat -c permissions=%a /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml -``` - -**Expected Result**: - -```console -permissions has permissions 644, expected 644 or more restrictive -``` - -**Returned Value**: - -```console -permissions=644 -``` - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** pass - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -**Audit:** - -```bash -/bin/sh -c 'if test -e /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml;

These controls have been evaluated to ensure K3s doesn't prevent their implementation, but no further configuration or auditing of the cluster has been performed. - -This guide makes the assumption that K3s is running as a Systemd unit.

The remediation section explains why. -- **Warn** - The control is manual in the CIS benchmark and it depends on the cluster's use-case or some other factor that must be determined by the cluster operator. These controls have been evaluated to ensure K3s doesn't prevent their implementation, but no further configuration or auditing of the cluster has been performed. - -This guide makes the assumption that K3s is running as a Systemd unit. Your installation may vary. Adjust the "audit" commands to fit your scenario. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.3 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.4 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.5 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.6 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.7 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.8 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.9 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 - -### 1.1.10 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file ownership is set to root:root (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root - -### 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 command 'ps -ef | grep etcd'. -Run the below command (based on the etcd data directory found above).

This benchmark guide helps you evaluate the security of a hardened cluster against each control in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. - -This guide corresponds to the following versions of Rancher, CIS Benchmarks, and Kubernetes: - -| Rancher Version | CIS Benchmark Version | Kubernetes Version | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.24 | Kubernetes v1.24 | - -This guide walks through the various controls and provide updated example commands to audit compliance in Rancher created clusters. Because Rancher and RKE2 install Kubernetes services as Docker containers, many of the control verification checks in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark don't apply. These checks will return a result of `Not Applicable`. - -This document is for Rancher operators, security teams, auditors and decision makers. - -For more information about each control, including detailed descriptions and remediations for failing tests, refer to the corresponding section of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.24. You can download the benchmark, after creating a free account, at [Center for Internet Security (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/). - -## Testing Methodology - -RKE2 launches control plane components as static pods, managed by the kubelet, and uses containerd as the container runtime. Configuration is defined by arguments passed to the container at the time of initialization or via configuration file. - -Where control audits differ from the original CIS benchmark, the audit commands specific to Rancher are provided for testing. When performing the tests, you will need access to the command line on the hosts of all RKE2 nodes. The commands also make use of the [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) (with a valid configuration file) and [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) tools, which are required in the testing and evaluation of test results. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** pass - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -**Audit:** - -```bash -stat -c permissions=%a /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml -``` - -**Expected Result**: - -```console -permissions has permissions 644, expected 644 or more restrictive -``` - -**Returned Value**: - -```console -permissions=644 -``` - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** pass - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -**Audit:** - -```bash -/bin/sh -c 'if test -e /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml;

These controls have been evaluated to ensure K3s doesn't prevent their implementation, but no further configuration or auditing of the cluster has been performed. - -This guide makes the assumption that K3s is running as a Systemd unit.

The remediation section explains why. -- **Warn** - The control is manual in the CIS benchmark and it depends on the cluster's use-case or some other factor that must be determined by the cluster operator. These controls have been evaluated to ensure K3s doesn't prevent their implementation, but no further configuration or auditing of the cluster has been performed. - -This guide makes the assumption that K3s is running as a Systemd unit. Your installation may vary. Adjust the "audit" commands to fit your scenario. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -### 1.1.3 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.4 Ensure that the controller manager pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml - -### 1.1.5 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.6 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml - -### 1.1.7 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chmod 600 /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.8 Ensure that the etcd pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml - -### 1.1.9 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file permissions are set to 600 or more restrictive (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chmod 600 - -### 1.1.10 Ensure that the Container Network Interface file ownership is set to root:root (Manual) - - -**Result:** Not Applicable - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, -chown root:root - -### 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 command 'ps -ef | grep etcd'. -Run the below command (based on the etcd data directory found above).

This benchmark guide helps you evaluate the security of a hardened cluster against each control in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. - -This guide corresponds to the following versions of Rancher, CIS Benchmarks, and Kubernetes: - -| Rancher Version | CIS Benchmark Version | Kubernetes Version | -|-----------------|-----------------------|--------------------| -| Rancher v2.7 | Benchmark v1.24 | Kubernetes v1.24 | - -This guide walks through the various controls and provide updated example commands to audit compliance in Rancher created clusters. Because Rancher and RKE2 install Kubernetes services as Docker containers, many of the control verification checks in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark don't apply. These checks will return a result of `Not Applicable`. - -This document is for Rancher operators, security teams, auditors and decision makers. - -For more information about each control, including detailed descriptions and remediations for failing tests, refer to the corresponding section of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.24. You can download the benchmark, after creating a free account, at [Center for Internet Security (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/). - -## Testing Methodology - -RKE2 launches control plane components as static pods, managed by the kubelet, and uses containerd as the container runtime. Configuration is defined by arguments passed to the container at the time of initialization or via configuration file. - -Where control audits differ from the original CIS benchmark, the audit commands specific to Rancher are provided for testing. When performing the tests, you will need access to the command line on the hosts of all RKE2 nodes. The commands also make use of the [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) (with a valid configuration file) and [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) tools, which are required in the testing and evaluation of test results. - -:::note - -This guide only covers `automated` (previously called `scored`) tests. - -::: - -### Controls - -## 1.1 Control Plane Node Configuration Files -### 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated) - - -**Result:** pass - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the -control plane node. -For example, chmod 644 /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -**Audit:** - -```bash -stat -c permissions=%a /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml -``` - -**Expected Result**: - -```console -permissions has permissions 644, expected 644 or more restrictive -``` - -**Returned Value**: - -```console -permissions=644 -``` - -### 1.1.2 Ensure that the API server pod specification file ownership is set to root:root (Automated) - - -**Result:** pass - -**Remediation:** -Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the control plane node. -For example, chown root:root /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml - -**Audit:** - -```bash -/bin/sh -c 'if test -e /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/pod-manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml;
