gcloud-gke-sandbox-disabled: GKE Cluster Not Using Sandbox with gVisor

id: gcloud-gke-sandbox-disabled

info:
  name: GKE Cluster Not Using Sandbox with gVisor
  author: princechaddha
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Ensure that your Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters are configured to use GKE Sandbox with gVisor to provide an additional layer of security isolation for containers. GKE Sandbox uses gVisor, a container runtime sandbox, to help isolate containers and protect the underlying host kernel.
  impact: |
    Without GKE Sandbox enabled, containers may have direct access to host kernel system calls, potentially increasing security risks and vulnerability to container escape attacks.
  remediation: |
    Enable GKE Sandbox for your clusters using the 'gcloud container clusters create' command with --sandbox=type=gvisor flag or modify existing node pools to use gVisor sandbox.
