Kubernetes Security - Complete Dataset

A comprehensive bilingual (FR/EN) dataset covering misconfigurations, attack paths, and Q&A about Kubernetes security.

📊 Dataset Content

1. Kubernetes Misconfigurations (60+ entries)

  • Categories: RBAC, PodSecurity, NetworkPolicy, Secrets, ImageSecurity, RuntimeSecurity, Admission, Logging, APIServer, etcd
  • Fields: ID, name, category, descriptions FR/EN, risk level (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
  • Additional Details: remediation FR/EN, kubectl command for detection, CIS Benchmark reference, MITRE ATT&CK mapping
  • Affected Resources: Pod, Deployment, ServiceAccount, ClusterRole, etc.

Examples Covered:

  • Privileged containers and hostPID/hostNetwork
  • Missing network policies
  • Default service account with cluster-admin
  • Secrets in environment variables
  • Missing resource limits
  • Missing Pod Security Standards
  • Unrestricted NodePort
  • Exposed Kubernetes Dashboard
  • Unencrypted etcd
  • Missing audit logging

2. Kubernetes Attack Paths (30 scenarios)

  • Categories: ContainerEscape, PrivilegeEscalation, LateralMovement, DataExfiltration, Persistence, InitialAccess
  • Detailed Steps: step number, actions FR/EN, tools used, MITRE technique
  • Prerequisites: conditions necessary for attack
  • Detection: how to identify and prevent
  • Difficulty: Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert

Examples Covered:

  • Privilege escalation via default service account
  • Container escape via privileged containers
  • NetworkPolicy bypass via hostNetwork
  • Secrets extraction from ConfigMap
  • RBAC misconfiguration exploitation
  • Kubelet API exploitation
  • Direct etcd extraction
  • Container image supply chain attacks
  • Pod escape via runtime
  • And 20+ more...

3. Kubernetes Security Q&A (50 bilingual Q&A)

  • Coverage: best practices, security concepts, attack detection
