+== Why is this an issue?
+
+Using wildcards when defining Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions in Kubernetes can lead to significant security issues. This is because it grants overly broad permissions, potentially allowing access to sensitive resources.
+
+
+RBAC is designed to limit the access rights of users within the system by assigning roles to them. These roles define what actions a user can perform and on which resources. When a wildcard is used, it means that the role has access to all resources/verbs, bypassing the principle of least privilege. This principle states that users should have only the minimal permissions they need to perform their job function.
+
+
+=== What is the potential impact?
+
+If an attacker gains access to a role with wildcard permissions, they could potentially read, modify, or delete any resource in the Kubernetes cluster, leading to data breaches, service disruptions, or other malicious activities.
+
+== How to fix it
+
+=== Code examples
+
+==== Noncompliant code example
+
+[source,yaml,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
+----
+apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
+kind: Role
+metadata:
+  namespace: default
+  name: example-role
+rules:
+  - apiGroups: [""]
+    resources: ["*"] # Noncompliant
+    verbs: ["get", "list"]
+----
+
+==== Compliant solution
+
+[source,yaml,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
+----
+apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
+kind: Role
+metadata:
+  namespace: default
+  name: example-role
+rules:
+  - apiGroups: [""]
+    resources: ["pods"]
+    verbs: ["get", "list"]
+----
+
+=== How does this work?
+
+When defining RBAC permissions, it is important to follow the principle of least privilege. By explicitly specifying the verbs and resources a user should have access to instead of using wildcards, it can be ensured that users have only the permissions they need to perform their job function.
