container-windows-hostprocess
A Windows HostProcess container runs directly on the node in the host namespaces under a system account, exposing the host filesystem, registry and services and making node compromise trivial.

HostProcess is not allowed for containers. Each spec.containers[*].securityContext.windowsOptions.hostProcess must be undefined or set to false.
Remove windowsOptions.hostProcess from every container security context or set it to false. Field: spec.containers[*].securityContext.windowsOptions.hostProcess.

HostProcess is not allowed for containers. Each spec.containers[*].securityContext.windowsOptions.hostProcess must be undefined or set to false.Save it as container-windows-hostprocess.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-windows-hostprocess.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-windows-hostprocess -r ./manifestsOr against every namespace in the cluster your kubeconfig points at:
$ kubeapt validate --policy-name container-windows-hostprocess -A
