# Block privilege escalation
**Profile Applicability:** L1
**Type:** Behavioral Check
**Category:** Control Plane Isolation
**Description:** Control container permissions.
**Rationale:** The security `allowPrivilegeEscalation` setting allows a process to gain more privileges from its parent process. Processes in tenant containers should not be allowed to gain additional privileges.
**Audit:**
As cluster admin, define a `PodSecurityPolicy` that sets `allowPrivilegeEscalation=false` and map the policy to a tenant:
```yaml
kubectl create -f - << EOF
apiVersion: policy/v1beta1
kind: PodSecurityPolicy
metadata:
name: tenant
spec:
privileged: false
# Required to prevent escalations to root.
allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
runAsUser:
rule: RunAsAny
seLinux:
rule: RunAsAny
supplementalGroups:
rule: RunAsAny
fsGroup:
rule: RunAsAny
EOF
```
> Note: make sure `PodSecurityPolicy` Admission Control is enabled on the APIs server: `--enable-admission-plugins=PodSecurityPolicy`
Then create a ClusterRole using or granting the said item
```yaml
kubectl create -f - << EOF
kind: ClusterRole
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: tenant:psp
rules:
- apiGroups: ['policy']
resources: ['podsecuritypolicies']
resourceNames: ['tenant']
verbs: ['use']
EOF
```
And assign it to the tenant
```yaml
kubectl apply -f - << EOF
apiVersion: capsule.clastix.io/v1beta1
kind: Tenant
metadata:
name: oil
spec:
owners:
- kind: User
name: alice
additionalRoleBindings:
- clusterRoleName: tenant:psp
subjects:
- kind: "Group"
apiGroup: "rbac.authorization.k8s.io"
name: "system:authenticated"
EOF
./create-user.sh alice oil
```
As tenant owner, run the following command to create a namespace in the given tenant
```bash
kubectl --kubeconfig alice create ns oil-production
kubectl --kubeconfig alice config set-context --current --namespace oil-production
```
As tenant owner, create a pod or container that sets `allowPrivilegeEscalation=true` in its `securityContext`.
```yaml
kubectl --kubeconfig alice apply -f - << EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: pod-priviliged-mode
namespace: oil-production
labels:
spec:
containers:
- name: busybox
image: busybox:latest
command: ["/bin/sleep", "3600"]
securityContext:
allowPrivilegeEscalation: true
EOF
```
You must have the pod blocked by `PodSecurityPolicy`.
**Cleanup:**
As cluster admin, delete all the created resources
```bash
kubectl --kubeconfig cluster-admin delete tenant oil
kubectl --kubeconfig cluster-admin delete PodSecurityPolicy tenant
kubectl --kubeconfig cluster-admin delete ClusterRole tenant:psp
```
