I’m talking not only about trusting the distribution chain but about the situation where some services dont rebuild their images using updated bases if they dont have a new release.
So per example if the particular service latest tag was a year ago they keep distributing it with a year old alpine base…


I didn’t realise this was a problem.
I’m not too worried about it though.
each container has such a small attack surface. As in, my reverse proxy traefik exposes port 80 and port 443, and all the others only expose their API’s or webservers to traefik.
