## Issue description
The kubelet is configured to allow anonymous (unauthenticated) requests to it's HTTP api. This may expose certein information, and capabilities to an attacker with access to the kubelet API.
## Remediation
Ensure kubelet is protected using `--anonymous-auth=false` kubelet flag. Allow only legitimate users using `--client-ca-file` or `--authentication-token-webhook` kubelet flags. This is usually done by the installer or cloud provider.
