## Issue description
|
|
|
|
Every Pod in Kubernetes is associated with a Service Account which by default has access to the Kubernetes API. This access is made available to Pods by an auto-generated token that is made available to the Pod by Kubernetes. An attacker with access to a Pod can read the token and access the Kubernetes API.
|
|
|
|
## Remediation
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to explicitly specify a Service Account for all of your workloads (`serviceAccountName` in `Pod.Spec`), and manage their permissions according to the least privilege principle.
|
|
|
|
Consider opting out automatic mounting of SA token using `automountServiceAccountToken: false` on `ServiceAccount` resource or `Pod.spec`.
