Isai 78d6093176 [New Rule] Kubernetes Container Created with Excessive Linux Capabilites (#2313)
* [New Rule] Kubernetes Container Created with Excessive Linux Capabilites

This rule detects a container deployed with one or more dangerously permissive Linux capabilities. Using the Linux capabilities feature you can grant certain privileges to a process without granting all the privileges of the root user. Added capabilities entitle containers in a pod with additional privileges that can be used to change core processes and networking settings of a cluster. An attacker with the ability to deploy a container with added capabilities could use this for further execution, lateral movement, or privilege escalation within a cluster or the host machine. This rule detects the following capabilities and leaves space for the exception of trusted permissive containers specific to your environment:

BPF - Allow creating BPF maps, loading BPF Type Format (BTF) data, retrieve JITed code of BPF programs, and more.

DAC_READ_SEARCH - Bypass file read permission checks and directory read and execute permission checks.

NET_ADMIN - Perform various network-related operations.

SYS_ADMIN - Perform a range of system administration operations.

SYS_BOOT - Use reboot(2) and kexec_load(2), reboot and load a new kernel for later execution.

SYS_MODULE - Load and unload kernel modules.

SYS_PTRACE - Trace arbitrary processes using ptrace(2).

SYS_RAWIO - Perform I/O port operations (iopl(2) and ioperm(2)).

SYSLOG - Perform privileged syslog(2) operations.

Rules within this folder are organized by solution or platform. The structure is flattened out, because nested file hierarchies are hard to navigate and find what you're looking for. Each directory contains several .toml files, and the primary ATT&CK tactic is included in the file name when it's relevant (i.e. windows/execution_via_compiled_html_file.toml)
