Description
dockerfile has no USER directive (runs as root); the k8s deployment (deploy/serval/templates/serval-api-deployment.yaml) sets no securityContext and mounts DataProtection keys at /root/.aspnet/DataProtection-Keys. A code-exec bug runs as root with direct access to the key material.
Fix: Add a non-root USER in the Dockerfile and a pod securityContext (runAsNonRoot: true, allowPrivilegeEscalation: false, readOnlyRootFilesystem where feasible, drop capabilities). Relocate the DataProtection-Keys mount out of /root.
