Title

The container platform registry must contain only container images for those capabilities being offered by the container platform. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Allowing container images to reside within the container platform registry that are not essential to the capabilities being offered by the container platform becomes a potential security risk. By allowing these non-essential container images to exist, the possibility for accidental instantiation exists. The images may be unpatched, not supported, or offer non-approved capabilities. Those images for customer services are considered essential capabilities.

Check Content

Review the container platform registry and the container images being stored. If container images are stored in the registry and are not being used to offer container platform capabilities, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove all container images from the container platform registry that are not being used or contain features and functions not supported by the platform.
