Author: cyberstrikeus

File contents

5.32 Ensure that the Docker socket is not mounted inside any containers (Manual)

Profile Applicability

Level 1 - Docker - Linux

Description

The Docker socket docker.sock should not be mounted inside a container.

Rationale

If the Docker socket is mounted inside a container it could allow processes running within the container to execute Docker commands which would effectively allow for full control of the host.

Impact

None

Audit Procedure

You should run the following command:

docker ps --quiet --all | xargs docker inspect --format '{{ .Id }}: Volumes={{ .Mounts }}' | grep docker.sock

This would return any instances where docker.sock had been mapped to a container as a volume.

Remediation

You should ensure that no containers mount docker.sock as a volume.

Default Value

By default, docker.sock is not mounted inside containers.
