Docker clients can communicate with the daemon either locally, via a unix socket, or over a network via a TCP socket. Aqua's research team discovered an interesting attack vector running on top of an unsecured Docker socket API. Instead of running a malicious Docker image, the attacker changes the traditional …

Last month, we announced aqua's Hacktoberfest challenge: Calling to contribute to any of our open-source projects during the month of October and win prizes! In this post, we’d like to share the results and provide instructions on how you can claim your rewards.

Managing a growing number of systems and applications can be complicated and time consuming, making it particularly important to find a way to centralize and optimize your data.

Hacktoberfest, named after the famous German festival Oktoberfest, is a wonderful initiative that invites developers from around the world to participate and contribute to Open Source. At Aqua, …

In this post I’ll describe how an attacker, who manages to run malicious code on a cluster can, with no special permissive permissions, successfully spoof DNS responses to all the applications running on the cluster, and from there execute a MITM (Man In The Middle) on all network traffic of pods.Before we get into …

If you’re interested in container image vulnerability scanning, there’s a good chance that you have come across the Trivy open source scanning tool. This project has been receiving rave reviews for its ease-of-use, as well as its comprehensive vulnerability tracking across both OS packages and language-specific …

Kubernetes has many moving parts, and sometimes combining them in certain ways can create unexpected security flaws. In this post you’ll see how a pod running as root and with a mount point to the node’s /var/log directory can expose the entire contents of its host filesystem to any user who has access to its logs. …
