What Is Container Image Exposure?
Container image exposure occurs when a hacker is able to gain access to an image of a container. This can be done by either exploiting a vulnerability in the container or by using a malicious code to gain access to the container image. Once the hacker has access to the container image, they can then use it to gain access to the underlying system and potentially steal sensitive data or launch malicious attacks.
What Are the Risks of Container Image Exposure?
If a hacker is able to gain access to a container image, they can potentially use it to launch malicious attacks, such as data theft, malware injection, and more. This can lead to significant damage to the organization. It can also be used as a way to gain access to the underlying system and its data. As such, it’s important to have a security solution in place that can prevent container image exposure.
