Container Security Scanner

Container Security Scanner Skill

Purpose

Automated container image and Kubernetes security scanning to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, and compliance issues in containerized environments.

Capabilities

Image Vulnerability Scanning

• Scan container images for known CVEs using Trivy, Grype, or Anchore
• Detect vulnerabilities in OS packages and application dependencies
• Generate SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) in CycloneDX or SPDX format
• Track vulnerability severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low)

Dockerfile Security Analysis

• Check Dockerfile best practices and security issues
• Identify privileged container configurations
• Detect hardcoded secrets in Dockerfiles
• Verify base image security and freshness

Kubernetes Security Scanning

• Run Kubernetes CIS benchmark checks using kube-bench
• Analyze pod security policies and standards
• Check RBAC configurations for over-permissive access
• Detect insecure network policies

Secrets Detection

• Scan images for embedded secrets and credentials
• Identify API keys, tokens, and passwords in layers
• Check environment variable configurations

Image Signature Verification

• Verify container image signatures using cosign
• Validate image provenance and attestations
• Check image registry security configurations

Compliance Reporting

• Generate compliance reports (CIS, NIST, PCI-DSS)
• Map findings to compliance controls
• Track remediation status and timelines
