The talk discusses the evolution of vulnerabilities in popular public container images and the challenges faced by developers and DevSecOps teams in handling them. The speaker shares insights from a report on publicly available containers on Docker Hub and highlights the need for practical steps to prevent the dev process from grinding to a halt.
  • Container scanning and security is becoming more widely adopted, but the long-term security posture of containers is not well-understood.
  • New vulnerabilities arise constantly, and many vulnerabilities fall into a catchall bucket of 'won't fix'.
  • The attack surface of popular public container images like Python and NodeJS has changed over the past year, and different vulnerability scanners show different results.
  • Developers and DevSecOps teams face challenges in ensuring containerized applications are free from vulnerabilities due to the complexity of containers and manual processes.
  • Practical steps can be taken to stay on top of vulnerabilities and prevent the dev process from grinding to a halt.
