Kubernetes Forbidden Creation Request

Elastic Detection Rules

View Source
Summary
This rule monitors Kubernetes clusters for unauthorized resource creation attempts that are explicitly denied by the authorization policy. It identifies requests that receive a 'forbid' response, indicating the user or service account lacks necessary permissions for the requested action. This situation is significant because adversaries often attempt to create or manipulate resources without proper authorization, resulting in potential unauthorized access and lateral movement within the cluster, as well as opportunities for privilege escalation. Detecting such events is crucial for maintaining the security posture of Kubernetes environments.
