GKE Forbidden Creation Request

Detects denied GKE API create requests from non-control-plane identities. Failed creates can indicate RBAC probing, stolen credentials with insufficient privileges, or attempts to deploy unauthorized workloads.

Detection logic

Its licence does not clear it for publishing here

Sunturai publishes a detection's own text where the licence it arrived under has been reviewed and permits it, and Elastic License 2.0 has not. The query as its source wrote it, its canonical form and the hash that pins this revision are in the workspace record.

  • Developers or CI jobs with incomplete RBAC can generate denied creates. Tune after validating expected identities and namespaces. GKE control-plane and bootstrap identities are excluded.

Detections can measure how the public catalogue is used — which detections people look for, and which pages bring them here. It sets a cookie that recognises this browser for 180 days. It is never linked to an account and never follows you to other sites. Privacy notice
