Tests 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 do not pass if proxy kubeconfig is not present (regression from issue 699 ?)
Author: willemmCreated Sep 17, 2026Updated Sep 17, 2026
Overview
Tests 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 do not pass if /etc/kubernetes/proxy.conf is not present.
How did you run kube-bench?
Irrelevant. It is clear from the test code that it does not handle the case of not-present file correctly.
What happened?
Tests 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 did not pass
What did you expect to happen:
The text of those tests clearly state "If proxy kubeconfig file exists ..." Therefore, since that file does not exist, I expected the tests to pass.
Environment
cis-1.12, but cis-2.0 has the same problem, and presumably all of them have.
