iac/kubernetes/k8s-host-namespace
Pod shares a host namespace
highKubernetesiac-kubernetes
What it detects
`hostNetwork`, `hostPID`, or `hostIPC` set to true breaks the namespace boundary between the pod and the node — the container can see host network interfaces, processes, or IPC, widening the blast radius of any compromise.
Remediation
Remove the host namespace flag. Workloads almost never need direct host network/PID/IPC access.
How it runs
Run against YAML files that look like Kubernetes manifests (top-level `apiVersion:` + `kind:`). Line-based checks across multi-document files; Helm-templated lines are skipped.
