What it checks

It passes when:

How to fix

  • Launch from the production Confidential Space image (not the -debug variant) and disable tee-container-log-redirect so the workload's output stays inside the TEE.
  • Launch from the production Confidential Space image (not -debug) and disable tee-container-log-redirect so workload output stays in the TEE.

After the fix, scan again: the check should report PASS.
