Amazon EKS Kubernetes Pod Scan Detection

This analytic detects unauthenticated requests made against the Kubernetes Pods API, specifically looking for events where the user is "system:anonymous", the verb is "list", the resource is "pods", and the request URI is "/api/v1/pods". This activity indicates potential unauthorized access attempts to enumerate Kubernetes pods within an Amazon EKS cluster. Such access could lead to sensitive resource discovery, unauthorized command execution, or lateral movement if exploited.
