RATs in the Cloud: Kubernetes UI Tools Turn into a Weapon

For many years, threat actors have been using legitimate remote access tools (RATs) in their campaigns, tricking users into installing them to get full control over the victims’ systems. Similarly, in the cloud native world, attackers are increasingly targeting user interface (UI) tools to gain access to Docker and Kubernetes instances. In this blog, we’ll …

Golang Scanning with Trivy: Detect Vulnerabilities Accurately

A standard piece of security advice is to reduce the size of your container images, usually by using statically compiled binaries in a scratch or distroless container. However, that complicates container vulnerability scanning, because it becomes impossible to determine the versions of software installed in a container image. Fortunately, if you’re using Trivy, a popular …

Threat Actors Using release_agent Container Escape

Earlier this year, Aqua’s Team Nautilus detected a cryptocurrency mining campaign targeting our honeypots. As part of the campaign, the threat actors used a container escape technique that leverages the CGroup release_agent feature. This technique allows an attacker to break out from the container and compromise the host and, potentially, the entire network of an organization. …

A great way to get started with runtime security in your Kubernetes environments is using Tracee, an open source runtime security and forensics tool for Linux. But as with any alerting and monitoring service, it’s necessary to send alerts to a central point to help operations teams keep track of what’s happening across their environments. …

The Rise of CNAPP and How It Protects Your Applications

A prospect’s CISO recently asked me: “I’m facing a growing stream of vulnerabilities coming from our CI/CD pipelines on the one hand, while our SecOps team is flooded with alerts and configuration issues from our production environment. How do I reconcile those separate streams and focus on what’s really important?” “Well,” I responded, “funny you …

The Great Escape: A Blast Radius Analysis of Container Attacks

In 2021, container attacks have been on the rise. We observed numerous attacks that were designed to escape container environments to the underlying host, increasing the impact of the attack. But how much damage can be caused when an attacker manages to escape a container? To answer this question, we conducted an analysis of real-world …

Key Requirements for CWPP (Cloud Workload Protection Platforms)
