auditing-admission-control-policy-gaps

auditing-admission-control-policy-gaps is a skill for Claude Code from UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills. It costs 154 tokens per session (1,954 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review of cluster admission control, the gate that checks workload requests before they enter or change a container cluster. Validating webhooks reject requests, while mutating webhooks modify them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review admission webhooks and policy engines that control privileged workloads, unsigned images, service accounts, host mounts, and other cluster requirements.
Why use it?
It finds gaps where the gate can be skipped, fail open, miss important namespaces, accept exemptions, or make changes that later checks trust without verifying.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

auditing-admission-control-policy-gaps scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Auditing admission control policy gaps: when the gatekeeper waves it through

Admission control is the cluster's gate: every create and update passes through validating and mutating webhooks that are supposed to reject workloads that break policy, privileged pods, unsigned images, over-broad service accounts, host mounts. The gate only protects the cluster if it actually fires on the requests that matter and cannot be skipped. In practice it is riddled with quiet gaps: a webhook configured to fail open so an unreachable backend admits everything, a policy scoped to some namespaces but not the one an attacker targets, an exemption for system workloads that a hostile pod can wear, and a mutating webhook whose output later stages trust without re-validating. A gate with a gap is worse than no gate, because teams believe it is enforcing. You audit this by checking, for each policy, whether it fires on every relevant request and whether anything can bypass it.

When to use

  • Admission webhooks or a policy engine are the control keeping non-compliant workloads out of the cluster.
  • Webhooks may fail open, be scoped narrowly, carry exemptions, or run in an order that allows a bypass.
  • A mutating webhook changes resources that later stages or other policies trust without re-checking.

Scope check

Test admission control only on clusters you own or are authorized to assess, on non-production namespaces. Probing a policy means submitting workloads to a real cluster, so use a non-production namespace and remove any test workload you create. If you can't name the authorization, stop.

The loop

  1. Establish what each policy must enforce and where first. Name the rules admission control is supposed to guarantee (no privileged pods, only signed images, no host mounts) and the full set of namespaces they must cover. This is the false-positive killer: a policy that fires closed on every relevant request across every namespace, with no usable exemption, is doing its job. Name the intended coverage, then test against it.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
