This base/runtime image is a reasonable foundation, but it ships vulnerabilities worth remediating in the images built on top of it. The most notable issues are CVE-2026-42011 and CVE-2026-42012 in gnutls, which could allow certificate validation bypass and potential spoofing or man-in-the-middle attacks. CVE-2026-54369 in libacl enables local privilege escalation via symlink traversal if an attacker controls path components. All exposed vulnerabilities are at medium severity (max 6.29), and post-exploit findings are low (max 3.53), so the overall risk is manageable but should be addressed in final images. Note: this is a general-purpose base/runtime image — many findings live in components that an application built on top may never load, so actual exploitability depends on the final image. For an accurate risk picture, re-scan the final application image with context.

Scanning procedure

  1. Vulnerability scan
    Full CVE sweep across OS packages and app dependencies
  2. Exploitability check
    CVEs ranked by exploit probability (EPSS) and matched against CISA KEV
  3. Reachability analysis
    Symbol-level proof: is the vulnerable code even linked and callable in your binaries?
  4. Runtime verification
    Live-container probes: exposed endpoints, feature flags, real defaults
  5. Supply chain analysis
    Base-image lineage, package provenance and signatures — nothing slipped in unnoticed
  6. Hardening recommendations
    A hardened build plan — patch, remove unused packages, lock down the runtime — with parity tests proving nothing broke
