RELIABLE

This image is acceptable for production, but remediating the identified vulnerabilities is recommended to reduce the attack surface. The scan lists 83 exposed findings, so these exist, but the most notable one, CVE-2026-111497 in brotli-libs, only matters if a component decodes untrusted Brotli data, which the Kafka broker does not normally do. Note: CVE-2026-111497 only applies if a Brotli decoder is actually used alongside the broker, so confirm that before dismissing it. Updating the image to a patched brotli-libs package is the practical way to close it.

Hardening plan for this image · 4 steps. The first cuts risk from 26 to 0.

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
