RELIABLE

This image carries significant risk; production deployment is highly discouraged without strict compensating controls. An attacker who sends crafted traffic could crash the proxy and interrupt the services behind it, and the known-exploited Brotli flaw could allow code execution if decompression is enabled. Note: CVE-2026-111497 only applies when a Brotli decompression filter is active, and CVE-2021-39155 and CVE-2021-39156 only apply when Istio authorization policies match on host or path. Keeping Brotli decompression disabled removes the path that CVE-2026-111497 needs, and the image runs as root by default, which increases the impact of any compromise.

Hardening plan for this image · 4 steps. The first closes an actively exploited CVE.

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
