advancedScenario-Based & System Design Questions
A production container is found running with `--privileged` mode enabled, and nobody on the current team remembers why.
This is a significant, likely unnecessary security exposure — `--privileged` grants nearly all host capabilities and device access, far beyond what almost any application legitimately needs. Investigate whether it was added to work around a specific narrower requirement (e.g., needing a particular capability or device access) that could instead be granted via a scoped `--cap-add` or specific `--device` flag, and remove the blanket privileged flag once the actual minimal requirement is identified and substituted.
