| Description |
|---|
| The secure configuration of the container platform must be protected by disallowing changes to be implemented by non-privileged users. Changes to the container platform can introduce security risks or stability issues and undermine change management procedures. Securing configuration files from non-privileged user modification can be enforced using file ownership and permissions. |
| ℹ️ Check |

| Review the container platform to verify that configuration files cannot be modified by non-privileged users. If non-privileged users can modify configuration files, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Configure the container platform to only allow configuration modifications by privileged users. |
