seccomp profile is not set to Docker/Default or Runtime/Default

Description

Secure computing mode (seccomp) is a Linux kernel feature used to restrict actions available within the container. The seccomp() system call operates on the seccomp state of the calling process. The default seccomp profile provides a reliable setting for running containers with seccomp and disables non-essential system calls.

Code Example

yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: <name>
  annotations:
+   seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io/pod: "docker/default" 
    or
+   seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io/pod: "runtime/default"

Remediation
