Kubeaudit not recognizing pods running as root

[Tim-Schwalbe]

ISSUE TYPE

Bug Report

BUG REPORT

SUMMARY

Just see at the end my script running in gitlab-runner inside the cluster

ENVIRONMENT

https://github.com/Shopify/kubeaudit/releases/download/v0.19.0/kubeaudit_0.19.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
K8S: 1.24

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

I have for sure an application pod running as root, privileged and non read-only filesystem.

When I run kubeaudit inside a gitlab-runner the cluster recognizes only the runner pod itself, but not the app pod.

inside app container:

EXPECTED RESULTS

I thought it would scan all running pods for vulnerabilities

ACTUAL RESULTS

The output only shows missing namespace NetworkPolicies and the runner pod itself as failed.

This did the trick for me:

- cat ~/.kube/config > test
- ./kubeaudit all --kubeconfig "test"
