This policy provides a replacement for the Pod Security Policy that deals with seccomp profiles.

Prior to Kubernetes 1.19, seccomp profiles could be defined only via Pod annotations. Starting from Kubernetes 1.19 the seccomp profiles can be managed via the securityContext field of Pods and Containers.

Note well: the seccomp annotations are deprecated and will be dropped starting from Kubernetes 1.25.

Settings

This policy has some configurations:

• allowed_profiles: Define the accecpted profile values for the annotations container.seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io/<container> and seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io/pod.
• profile_types: Define the allowed values to be set in the seccomp type in the security context of a container or of the Pod.
• localhost_profiles: Define the allowed localhost profiles. This is used only when the "Localhost" type is allowed inside of the security context.

This policy can handle both seccomp policies expressed via annotations and via securityContext. In later Kubernetes version, it will populate the securityContext when the user define only the annotations. For this reason, if the user does not define the profile_types and localhost_profiles settings, the policy will fall-back to the allowed_profiles. Validating the containers securityContext against it. The following two settings are equivalent:

apiVersion: policies.kubewarden.io/v1alpha2
kind: ClusterAdmissionPolicy
metadata:
  name: psp-seccomp
spec:
  policyServer: default
  module: registry://ghcr.io/kubewarden/policies/seccomp-psp:v0.1.0
  rules:
  - apiGroups: [""]
    apiVersions: ["v1"]
    resources: ["pods"]
    operations:
    - CREATE
    - UPDATE
  mutating: false
  settings:
    allowed_profiles:
      - runtime/default
      - docker/default
      - localhost/test
    profile_types:
      - RuntimeDefault
      - Localhost
    localhost_profiles:
      - test

apiVersion: policies.kubewarden.io/v1alpha2
kind: ClusterAdmissionPolicy
metadata:
  name: psp-seccomp
spec:
  policyServer: default
  module: registry://ghcr.io/kubewarden/policies/seccomp-psp:v0.1.0
  rules:
  - apiGroups: [""]
    apiVersions: ["v1"]
    resources: ["pods"]
    operations:
    - CREATE
    - UPDATE
  mutating: false
  settings:
    allowed_profiles:
      - runtime/default
      - docker/default
      - localhost/test

As said before, you do not need to declare the profile_types and localhost_profiles. If you decided to use only the allowed_profiles settings you can get the same results.

Examples

With the yaml settings described in the settings section the following pods will be accepted:

apiVersion: v1
