Tampering

Tampering is the act of changing something in a malicious way to cause one of the following:

• Denial-of-service: Tampering with the resource to make it unusable

• Elevation of privilege: Tampering with a resource to gain additional privileges

Tampering can be hard to avoid, so a common countermeasure is to make it obvious when something has been tampered with. A common non-Kubernetes example is packaging medication—most over-the-counter drugs are packaged with tamper-proof seals that make it obvious if the product has been tampered with.
