zt_wl_012 — Container Registry has admin account enabled

Summary

Severity: High · Pillar: Workload · Chain role: ENABLER

Description

Container Registries with the admin account enabled expose a shared credential pair that cannot be scoped or audited per-principal. Disabling the admin account and using Azure AD tokens or managed identities enforces least-privilege and individual accountability.
