Sample rules

Kubernetes GCP detect RBAC authorizations by account

Description

This search provides information on Kubernetes RBAC authorizations by accounts, this search can be modified by adding top to see both extremes of RBAC by accounts occurrences

Detection logic

`google_gcp_pubsub_message` data.labels.authorization.k8s.io/reason=ClusterRoleBinding OR Clusterrole  
| table src_ip src_user data.labels.authorization.k8s.io/decision data.labels.authorization.k8s.io/reason 
| rare src_user data.labels.authorization.k8s.io/reason 
|`kubernetes_gcp_detect_rbac_authorizations_by_account_filter`

Kubernetes AWS detect RBAC authorization by account
