Default value for Pod.spec.containers.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation

[dilyanpalauzov]

At https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/workload-resources/pod-v1/#security-context-1 for

securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation (boolean)

it is not described what the default value is (when the container has no CAP_SYS_ADMIN and is not run as privileged)

[dilyanpalauzov]

Moreover the text about allowPrivilegeEscalation is:

AllowPrivilegeEscalation is true always when the container is: 1) run as Privileged 2) has CAP_SYS_ADMIN

Does this mean “1) or 2)” or it means “1) and 2)”?

This might be an API reference generation bug?
