Hello! This PR replaces the "docker-sock" check with a "container-runtime-sock" check that checks for the docker socket, the crio socket, and the containerd socket. I didn't see a way to deprecate a check, which would mean that users that have configuration specific to the "docker-sock" check wouldn't be pointed to this new check.

I believe this PR should close #186.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Replaced the Docker socket check with a broader container runtime socket check.
    • Detects Docker, CRI-O, and containerd socket mounts in workloads.
    • Added remediation guidance to remove associated volume and volume-mount configurations.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage across Deployment, StatefulSet, and DeploymentConfig resources, including Docker, CRI-O, and containerd socket mounts.

Walkthrough

The built-in docker-sock check is replaced by container-runtime-sock. The new check matches Docker, CRI-O, and containerd socket mounts. Registration, fixtures, and E2E expectations use the new check name.

Container runtime socket check

Layer / File(s) Summary
Policy definition and registration
pkg/builtinchecks/yamls/container-runtime-sock.yaml, pkg/builtinchecks/yamls/docker-sock.yaml, internal/defaultchecks/default_checks.go
Adds container-runtime-sock for Docker, CRI-O, and containerd sockets. Removes docker-sock and updates the enabled check list.
Fixture and E2E coverage
tests/checks/container-runtime-sock.yml, e2etests/bats-tests.sh
Adds containerd and CRI-O socket fixtures, renames the Docker Deployment, and updates the E2E test to expect four findings.

Cover CRI-O socket detection in this test.

The policy includes crio.sock$, but this fixture has no CRI-O mount and the E2E test has no CRI-O assertion. Add a CRI-O workload and assert its finding.

Fix the runtime socket test expectations.

message3 is not initialized before Line 284. The assertion always compares an empty value. The fixture has three matching mounts, but Line 285 expects four reports. Initialize message3 and expect three reports, or add a fourth matching fixture object and its assertion.

Preserve compatibility for docker-sock configurations.

When a configuration includes docker-sock, validation adds that name and fails because the registry contains only the exact name container-runtime-sock. The lint run then stops with check "docker-sock" not found before applying the runtime socket policy. Add a deprecated alias or document a breaking-change migration for existing configurations.
