How to use this skill
Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.
- Open your project in Codex.
- Copy and paste the prompt below.
- Review files and risks before approving any action.
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/CyberStrikeus/CyberStrike/blob/HEAD/.cyberstrike/skill/CIS_benchmarks/Server_Software/Docker/CIS_Docker_Benchmark_v1.7.0/cis-docker-v170-3.11/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/cis-docker-v170-3-11, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

CIS Docker Benchmark v1.7.0 - Control 3.11
Description
You should verify that the Docker server certificate file (the file that is passed along with the --tlscert parameter) is individual owned and group owned by root.
Rationale
The Docker server certificate file should be protected from any tampering. It is used to authenticate the Docker server based on the given server certificate. It must therefore be individually owned and group owned by root to prevent modification by less privileged users.
Impact
None.
Audit Procedure
You should execute the command below to verify that the Docker server certificate file is individually owned and group owned by root:
stat -c %U:%G <path to Docker server certificate file> | grep -v root:root
The above command should return no results.
Remediation
You should run the following command:
chown root:root <path to Docker server certificate file>
This sets the individual ownership and the group ownership for the Docker server certificate file to root.
Default Value
By default, the ownership and group-ownership for Docker server certificate file is correctly set to root.
