k8s-containers-share-host-ipc: Containers sharing host IPC namespace

info:
  name: Containers sharing host IPC namespace
  author: princechaddha
  severity: critical
  description: Checks if any containers in Kubernetes Pods are configured to share the host's IPC namespace, which can lead to security risks.
  impact: |
    Sharing the host's IPC namespace allows containers to access data across all containers on the same host, posing potential security risks.
  remediation: Ensure that no container in Kubernetes Pods is set to share the host IPC namespace. Configure 'spec.hostIPC' to 'false' for all pods to isolate IPC namespaces.
