This base/runtime image is a clean foundation for building production images. It contains 11 post-exploit-only vulnerabilities, all of low severity (max 4.12) with no practical remote impact. The most notable CVE-2024-2961 in glibc requires the container to call iconv() on attacker-controlled strings, which does not occur in standard /bin/bash usage. No exposed vulnerabilities exist, and the image is officially published, making it a low-risk starting point. 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
