摘要

Docker containers are central to modern software development and deployment due to their portability, efficiency, and scalability. By isolating applications and dependencies, they provide a lightweight alternative to virtual machines, enabling consistent environments across platforms. However, Docker containers pose security challenges, including shared kernel risks, vulnerabilities in container images, and misconfigurations, which can lead to breaches. This paper examines security concerns in Docker containers and proposes a framework to identify and address vulnerabilities. The framework helps detect issues like outdated components and misconfigurations, offering insights to enhance security. Through practical use cases, it highlights its effectiveness in closing security gaps and equipping developers with tools to protect containers. The study emphasizes the need for proactive security measures and continuous vigilance in securing containerized systems.
