A collection of OPA rules to statically analyze Dockerfiles to improve security.

Dockerfile Security best practices

The rules are a set of security best practices as explained here.

How to use

Rules are written in Rego language from Open Policy Agent

You can use conftest in your CI/CD pipeline to analyze Dockerfiles:

conftest test --policy dockerfile-security.rego Dockerfile

Example output:

conftest test --policy dockerfile-security.rego  Dockerfile
FAIL - Dockerfile - Do not run as root, use USER instead
FAIL - Dockerfile - Line 0: use a trusted base image
FAIL - Dockerfile - Line 6: Use COPY instead of ADD
FAIL - Dockerfile - Line 8: Do not use 'sudo' command
