Security Scans
Learn about application vulnerability scanning provided by Aptible
Aptible can scan the packages in your Docker images for known vulnerabilities Clair on demand.
What is scanned?
Docker image security scans look for vulnerable OS packages installed in your Docker images on supported Linux distributions:
- Debian / Ubuntu: packages installed using
dpkg
or itsapt-get
frontend. - CentOS / Red Hat / Amazon Linux: packages installed using
rpm
or its frontendsyum
anddnf
. - Alpine Linux: packages installed using
apk
.
Docker image security scans do not scan for:
- packages installed from source (e.g., using
make && make install
). - packages installed by language-level package managers, such as
bundler
,npm
,pip
,yarn
,composer
,go install
, etc. (third-party vulnerability analysis providers support those, and you can incorporate them using a CI process, for example).
