Overview

When learning egress through a Kubernetes Service whose port differs from targetPort (e.g. Service 80 → Pod 8080), eBPF observes the pre-DNAT Service port. Generated NetworkPolicies previously opened that Service port. CNIs that enforce on the resolved endpoint (such as AWS VPC CNI in standard mode) match the pod targetPort, so the rule never matches and traffic is denied once default-deny is applied.

Before: egress to Service port: 80, targetPort: 8080NetworkNeighbor.Ports / GeneratedNetworkPolicy open 80
After: the same traffic → ports remapped to the enforcement port(s) (8080, or multiple resolved ports for named/heterogeneous backends)

At createNetworkNeighbor serialization time we now resolve:

Service config Result
Numeric targetPort (80 → 8080) [8080]
Omitted targetPort defaults to Service port
Named targetPort (name: web, targetPort: http) resolve via EndpointSlice (match ServicePort.Name), Endpoints fallback
Heterogeneous named backends collect, dedupe, sort all resolved ports (e.g. [8080, 9090])
Lookup / convert failure keep observed port (safe fallback)
Pod / raw destinations unchanged

Additional Information

  • Fix is in node-agent only. Storage/GenerateNetworkPolicy already passes NetworkNeighbor.Ports through; the wrong port was recorded upstream.
  • Named-port resolution prefers EndpointSlices, then falls back to Endpoints (already in node-agent RBAC).
  • Companion PR needed in kubescape/helm-charts: grant node-agent ClusterRole get/list/watch on discovery.k8s.io/endpointslices. Without it, EndpointSlice list returns 403 and Endpoints fallback is used.
  • Size accounting in networkNeighborIncrement updated so Service-branch remapping is no longer treated as exact-from-event.

How to Test

# Targeted regression (#943)
go test ./pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/... \
  -run 'TestCreateNetworkNeighbor_ServiceTargetPortMatrix|TestGenerateNetworkPolicy_ServiceTargetPortRoundTrip' \
  -count=1 -v

# Affected package
go test ./pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/... -count=1

# Repo-wide (per README)
go test ./... -count=1

# Race
go test -race ./pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/... -count=1

Expected: matrix asserts 80 → 8080 (and NotEqual 80); round-trip asserts GeneratedNetworkPolicy egress port is 8080.

Optional cluster check (not required for merge): Service port: 80, targetPort: 8080, learn egress, confirm GeneratedNetworkPolicy opens 8080, apply with default-deny, verify client traffic succeeds under the CNI.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Network policies now resolve Kubernetes Service target ports more accurately, including numeric and named ports.
    • Support added for EndpointSlices and Endpoints, multiple matching ports, and TCP, UDP, and SCTP protocols.
    • Service traffic can now map observed ports to the correct enforcement ports.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved fallback handling for missing, malformed, unknown, or mismatched service port definitions.
    • Non-Service network destinations continue to retain their existing behavior.
    • Added validation for generated network policies and port ordering/deduplication.

kubescape#943)

eBPF observes the Service port before kube-proxy DNAT, but CNIs enforce on
the pod targetPort. Resolve numeric, omitted, and named targetPorts (via
EndpointSlice with Endpoints fallback) into NetworkNeighbor.Ports when
serializing egress neighbors so generated policies open the port the CNI
actually matches.
Companion helm-charts PR required for EndpointSlice RBAC in production.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Service destinations now resolve observed Service ports to enforcement ports from numeric or named target ports. EndpointSlices and Endpoints provide named-port resolution. Tests cover fallbacks, protocols, multiple ports, non-Service destinations, and generated policies.

Changes

Service target-port resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Service enforcement-port resolution
pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/network_helpers_service_ports.go
Adds Service port matching, target-port resolution, EndpointSlice and Endpoints lookups, protocol normalization, deduplication, and NetworkPort construction.
Network neighbor integration
pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/container_data.go, pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/event_reporting.go
Service neighbors use resolved enforcement ports. Service serialization estimates include an upper-bound port entry.
Resolution and policy tests
pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/container_data_test.go
Tests numeric and named target ports, protocol handling, fallbacks, multiple ports, non-Service destinations, deduplication, and generated policy output.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 02e90

The Service target-port remapping is not ready to merge because multi-port Services can bypass accurate profile-size limits, while missing Endpoints data can crash policy generation instead of safely retaining the observed port.

Account for all resolved Service ports.

This adds capacity for only one extra NetworkPort. resolveServiceEnforcementPorts can return more than two distinct EndpointSlice ports. A Service with three backend ports undercounts entry.data.size, so MaxTsProfileSize can split the profile too late.

Derive this increment from the resolved port count, or use a real upper bound. Add a case with at least three distinct endpoint ports.

Guard endpointsObj before conversion.

If EndpointSlice lookup yields no ports and GetWorkload("Endpoints", ...) returns (nil, nil), endpointsObj.GetObject() can panic. Return nil when endpointsObj == nil so the caller retains the observed port. Add a regression test for this case.
