Threat Score
61/100CAUTION
Reputation
TRUSTED

This image carries significant risk; production deployment is highly discouraged without strict compensating controls. The most serious findings, such as CVE-2026-89407 and CVE-2026-68497 in the Jackson JSON libraries, could let an attacker who can reach the Nexus port slow or stall the repository server by sending crafted JSON, disrupting builds and artifact access for every team that depends on it. Note: CVE-2026-49268 only applies if an LDAP login realm is configured, so its relevance depends on how this deployment handles authentication. None of the flagged issues are known to be actively exploited, and the publisher is verified, but the number of high-severity denial-of-service exposures still warrants strict controls and prompt patching before production use.

Hardening plan for this image · 4 steps. The first cuts risk from 61 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
