Description
Avoid auto mounting tokens for the default service account. The default service account should not be used and its ability to provide API credentials should be disabled.
How to fix?
Set the automountServiceAccountToken attribute to false.
Example configuration:
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: valid-serviceaccount
automountServiceAccountToken: false
Set the automount_service_account_token attribute to false.
Example configuration:
resource "kubernetes_service_account" "allowed" {
metadata {
name = "example-654-allowed"
}
automount_service_account_token = false
}
