This rule detects the creation, patching, or updating of Kubernetes 'clusterrolebindings', 'rolebindings', or 'roles' within 'prod', 'production', or 'default' namespaces. It specifically excludes actions performed by the 'system:clusterrole-aggregation-controller' to reduce false positives related to legitimate system operations. This activity could indicate an attempt to escalate privileges or establish persistence within critical Kubernetes environments.
