container-poststart-httpget-host
A postStart HTTP hook aimed at another host makes the kubelet call an arbitrary URL from the node each time a container starts, reaching internal endpoints closed to pods and triggering side effects there.

spec.containers[*].lifecycle.postStart.httpGet.host must be undefined or empty ("").
Remove the host field so the hook targets the pod IP, or set it to an empty string. Field: spec.containers[*].lifecycle.postStart.httpGet.host.

spec.containers[*].lifecycle.postStart.httpGet.host must be undefined or empty ("").Save it as container-poststart-httpget-host.yaml — the commands below assume that name.
Check a workload against this one policy, before anything is installed on a cluster.
$ kubeapt validate -p ./container-poststart-httpget-host.yaml -r ./workload.yamlOr without the file, from the published policy set — -r takes a directory too:
$ kubeapt policies download && kubeapt validate --policy-name container-poststart-httpget-host -r ./manifestsOr against every namespace in the cluster your kubeconfig points at:
$ kubeapt validate --policy-name container-poststart-httpget-host -A
