Docker expands Hardened Images catalog access with near-zero-CVE subscriptions
Security Tool/Service
Summary

Show ▼
Docker expanded Hardened Images access with a 30-day free trial and subscription use for all users, making secure container images more accessible to startups and SMBs. The catalog is positioned as near-zero CVEs by design, and it includes SBOM and VEX support to help teams focus on relevant risk. Docker also says the images are rootless by default and covered by a seven-day patch SLA, which raises the operational security bar for container builds. The broader rollout could help shift default image hygiene across the container ecosystem.

Researchers uncovered malicious Trivy Docker Hub image tags 0.69.4, 0.69.5, and 0.69.6 tied to TeamPCP; 0.69.5 and 0.69.6 were pushed on March 22 without corresponding GitHub releases or tags. The same reporting says TeamPCP used a compromised service account token to deface all 44 internal repositories in Aqua Security's aquasec-com GitHub organization by renaming them with the tpcp-docs- prefix and exposing them publicly.
