Container Vulnerabilities

Section titled “Container Vulnerabilities”

Containers bundle the application code alongside entire operating system libraries, dependencies, and binaries. If a vulnerability exists in a base image, it gets deployed to production. An attacker breaking out of a container could potentially access the Host OS or other containers.
