Reproduce

docker pull ruvnet/wifi-densepose:latest
docker scout cves ruvnet/wifi-densepose:latest

All 37 vulnerabilities have no fixed version available upstream.

Thanks for the report. Triaging now — the Perl CVE-2026-12087 (Critical) and the High-severity tar/glibc entries are the priority items here. These are OS-level packages in the debian:12-slim base image rather than project code, but they still warrant a base image update or multi-stage build to minimize the attack surface in the published Docker image.

Labeling as bug for tracking. A base image update to the latest debian:12-slim (or pinning to a patched tag) should resolve the bulk of these. Will track alongside the next image release.

Public disclosure is kind of dick move. I'll fix, but posting on a public forum on the weekend is not particularly friendly.

Thanks @kunjaimonai — your data is accurate, I verified the 2025/26 CVEs (including the Critical) against the Debian tracker and NVD. Appreciate the thorough scan.

Quick note on real-world impact: :latest is a multi-stage build whose runtime is debian:bookworm-slim running a single Rust binary — no Perl/Python/compiler in the shipped image. Scout attributes by source package, so some findings reference code that isn't installed:

• The 1 Critical + 2 High are all perl, but the slim image only ships Socket.pm/File::Temp.pm — 6 of 8 perl CVEs, including both Highs, are in modules not present in the image.
• The Critical (Socket out-of-bounds read, AV:N) needs a running Perl program calling the affected function. Nothing here runs Perl, so it's unreachable — effective risk is near zero.
• The rest are the standard Debian base long-tail (apt, shadow, glibc, BEAST), triaged no-DSA upstream.

Still worth trimming the base-image surface, which we'll track for the next image release. Thanks again for the report.

A verified fix is up in #1145.

It moves the :latest runtime base from debian:bookworm-slim to distroless gcr.io/distroless/cc-debian12:debug, removing the CVE-bearing OS packages at the source rather than relying on a base re-pull (which wouldn't help — none of the 37 have a Debian 12 fix).

Verified locally (linux/arm64, Docker 29.5.3):

• Image builds clean (80.3 MB); the Rust binary boots in distroless and serves GET /ui/index.html → 200 and live GET /api/v1/sensing/latest.
• Runtime package set drops to 10 packages (base-files, gcc-12-base, libc6, libgcc-s1, libgomp1, libssl3, libstdc++6, media-types, netbase, tzdata) — perl, apt, tar, gnupg, pam, shadow, systemd, util-linux, coreutils all gone.
• Net against the reported 37: the 1 Critical + 2 High + all 4 Medium are eliminated, plus ~21 of the 28 Low. Remaining residuals are the irreducible glibc/openssl/gcc-base baseline Lows present in any glibc image.

Thanks again for the report, @kunjaimonai.
