Privileged Kubernetes Container Deployment
Detects the creation of a "privileged" container in Kubernetes. A privileged container has root capabilities on the host, allowing it to access and modify host processes, network operations, IPC calls, file system, mount points, and SELinux configurations. This action can indicate a threat actor attempting container breakout or privilege escalation. The rule specifically looks for 'create' verbs on 'pods' resources where 'capabilities' are present, which implies elevated privileges.
