Scan every image. Before it runs.

Container Image Security

Continuously scan container images for vulnerabilities, malware, secrets, and misconfigurations — so only secure images reach production.
Container Image Security
Vulnerable container images
The problem

Most container images carry hidden risks.

Container images often include outdated packages, known vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, and unnecessary tools. Once these images run in production, they become an easy entry point for attackers. Scanning only after deployment is too late.
One operating picture

One scan. Complete image security.

MadStack scans container images for vulnerabilities, secrets, malware, and misconfigurations — so only trusted images are deployed.
Detect vulnerabilities

Detect vulnerabilities

Identify known CVEs in OS packages, application dependencies, and base images before they reach production.

Find secrets & malware

Find secrets & malware

Detect hardcoded credentials, API keys, and malicious content hidden inside container layers.

Enforce image policies

Enforce image policies

Block images that violate security policies, contain critical vulnerabilities, or use untrusted base images.

✦ What gets detected

Findings, ranked by what matters.

Prioritized by severity, exploitability, and whether the vulnerable package is actually used at runtime.

◈

Critical

Critical CVEs with known exploits, malware, or exposed secrets inside the image.

◷ Block immediately
!

High

High-severity vulnerabilities in base images or application dependencies.

◷ Fix before deploy
↗

Medium

27

Medium-severity issues, outdated packages, or non-critical configuration findings.

Questions, answered.

We support Docker Hub, Amazon ECR, Google Artifact Registry, Azure Container Registry, GitHub Container Registry, and private registries.

Best practice is to scan images during the CI/CD pipeline, before they are pushed to the registry, and continuously monitor images already in use.

Yes. You can define policies that automatically fail builds or block deployments when critical or high-severity vulnerabilities are found.
