Azure Local Accounts Enabled

Description

Detects Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters that have local authentication accounts enabled. Local accounts in AKS bypass Azure AD authentication and centralized access controls, which could lead to unauthorized cluster access and reduced security visibility.

Weakness:

446 - Insecure service configuration - Azure

Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    Examines each AKS cluster in the Azure subscription for the 'disable_local_accounts' property

    Reports a vulnerability if 'disable_local_accounts' is set to false or not configured

    Flags AKS clusters where local authentication is allowed, recommending Azure AD-based authentication instead
