What is Kubernetes security misconfiguration?

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that is widely used to deploy, scale and manage containerized applications. Kubernetes security misconfiguration is a common issue where the configurations and settings in a Kubernetes cluster or deployment are not set up properly, resulting in security vulnerabilities. This could include misconfigured access control policies, exposed APIs, weak network security protocols, and more. Kubernetes security misconfiguration can lead to attacks such as data theft, unauthorized access, and resource abuse. It is important to ensure proper security practices are in place to protect Kubernetes infrastructure and the applications running on it.
