DNS Spoofing on Kubernetes Clusters

In this post I’ll describe how an attacker, who manages to run malicious code on a cluster can, with no special permissive permissions, successfully spoof DNS responses to all the applications running on the cluster, and from there execute a MITM (Man In The Middle) on all network traffic of pods.

AQUA OPEN SOURCE

Trivy Vulnerability Scanner Joins the Aqua Open-source Family

If you’re interested in container image vulnerability scanning, there’s a good chance that you have come across the Trivy open source scanning tool. This project has been receiving rave reviews for its ease-of-use, as well as its comprehensive vulnerability tracking across both OS packages and language-specific dependencies.

Kubernetes Pod Escape Using Log Mounts

Kubernetes has many moving parts, and sometimes combining them in certain ways can create unexpected security flaws. In this post you’ll see how a pod running as root and with a mount point to the node’s /var/log directory can expose the entire contents of its host filesystem to any user who has access to its …

Native Runtime Protection for Pivotal Cloud Foundry

The Pivotal Application Service (PAS) is a distribution of Cloud Foundry Application Runtime (CFAR), part of the Pivotal Cloud Foundry suite. It is widely used especially among large enterprise organizations. Aqua now provides a full lifecycle solution for Pivotal Application Service workloads, from scanning and deployment assurance policies that we introduced last year, to new …

Securing Hybrid Cloud Workloads on Google Anthos

There are major shifts happening around container technology. We have seen ongoing improvements in automation tooling and changes as fully containerized workloads move into production. Companies are often running more than one production Kubernetes cluster at a time. DevOps and operations teams, subsequently, have an additional burden because they must control and manage these clusters, …

CONTAINER SECURITY

Scanning Image Layers, Prometheus, and Harbor Integrations

One of the key challenges in container image scanning is understanding where a vulnerability originated in an image, and who can fix it. Image layers allow us to do that, and Aqua’s scanner now allows us to pinpoint discovered vulnerabilities to a specific layer.

Crypto-Mining Malware Outsmarting Image Scanners

In previous crypto-mining attacks, we observed hackers investing little to no effort in hiding their malicious activities. They just ran the malicious container with all of its scripts and configuration files in clear text. This made the analysis of their malicious intent fairly easy.

Docker Image Scanning in your Codefresh Pipeline with Aqua

There are many benefits to implementing CI/CD platforms, such as enabling fast and frequent release cycles of software and applications, but with great speed comes great responsibility. It is crucial to add security controls around container image creation and deployment to ensure that your applications are properly secure before they are deployed.

CVE-2019-11246: Another kubectl Path Traversal Vulnerability Disclosed

A new vulnerability (CVE-2019-11246) was disclosed that enables path traversal in kubectl, the popular command line interface for running commands on Kubernetes clusters. What’s interesting about this CVE is that we’ve already seen two previous variations of the same vulnerability disclosed and patched. Read on to learn how that happened.

SERVERLESS SECURITY

Performance-Optimized Runtime Protection for Serverless Functions

In order to protect serverless functions while they are running, you need to consider the very short execution times and ensure that you’re not slowing down applications or increasing cloud usage costs. In Aqua CSP 4.2, we’ve now introduced advanced runtime protection that does just that, while complementing our existing risk assessment, function scanning, and …

Mitigating Container Image Vulnerabilities with Aqua Vulnerability Shield™

Managing known vulnerabilities in container images has been one of the first issues to get the attention of organizations that adopt containers. Knowing what vulnerabilities (CVEs) lurk in your image code is important, but fixing or patching the images that contain vulnerabilities has been a challenge, since it’s not always easy, speedy, or even possible …
