Profile Applicability
- Level 1 - Master Node
Description
Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file ownership is set to root:root.
Rationale
The scheduler pod specification file controls various parameters that set the behavior of the kube-scheduler service in the master node. You should set its file ownership to maintain the integrity of the file. The file should be owned by root:root.
Impact

Remediation
Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the Control Plane node. For example,
