This rule detects a user attempt to establish a shell session into a pod using the 'exec' command. Using the 'exec'
command in a pod allows a user to establish a temporary shell session and execute any process/commands in the pod. An
adversary may call bash to gain a persistent interactive shell which will allow access to any data the pod has
permissions to, including secrets.

"""
An administrator may need to exec into a pod for a legitimate reason like debugging purposes. Containers built from
Linux and Windows OS images, tend to include debugging utilities. In this case, an admin may choose to run commands
inside a specific container with kubectl exec ${POD_NAME} -c ${CONTAINER_NAME} -- ${CMD} ${ARG1} ${ARG2} ...
${ARGN}. For example, the following command can be used to look at logs from a running Cassandra pod: kubectl exec
cassandra --cat /var/log/cassandra/system.log . Additionally, the -i and -t arguments might be used to run a shell
connected to the terminal: kubectl exec -i -t cassandra -- sh
