# 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
## Integrations

- **Syft**: SBOM generation tool
- **kube-bench**: Kubernetes CIS benchmark checker
- **Falco**: Runtime security monitoring
- **Anchore**: Enterprise container security platform
- **cosign**: Container image signing and verification
