Mitigation checklist

Recommended fix / mitigation

Enforce a specific numeric runAsUser in the Kubernetes Pod securityContext, which overrides the User directive in the container image and prevents the bypass. Additionally, restrict access to push container images to trusted users only, and validate image provenance before deployment.
