This event indicates that the Docker client, which is used to interact with Docker containers, is being executed within a container in the Kubernetes cluster.
It suggests that a container within the cluster is running a command or script that utilizes the Docker client to perform actions such as managing containers, images, or networks.
It is important to ensure that the Docker client is being used securely and in compliance with best practices, as it can have significant impact on the overall security and stability of the Kubernetes cluster.
Determine which container is executing the Docker client.
Inspect the container’s configuration and logs to understand why the Docker client is being used.
Use the following commands to identify and check the pods:

Restrict Docker Client Usage:
If Docker-in-Docker is necessary, consider configuring Docker to use a remote Docker daemon or using alternatives like Kubernetes-native solutions (e.g., using Kubernetes Jobs or CronJobs for tasks instead).
Update the container’s security context and limits to prevent unauthorized access.
Adjust the security context of your pods and containers to restrict unnecessary capabilities and volumes.
