Threat Trends
to Watch

In April, the Checkmarx Security Research Team analyzed 1.5 milliion results from Checkmarx One and Keeping Infrastucture-as-Code Secure(KICS) and identified three common Docker misconfigurations that threat actors can exploit.  

In Docker environments, misconfigurations such as open network ports, weak access controls, or improper container isolation can inadvertently expose the system to cyber threats.  

Docker containers often run with elevated default privileges, granting them unnecessary access to system resources. 

Developers inadvertently include sensitive information like passwords, API keys, or cryptographic keys within Docker images or configurations, leaving them vulnerable to unauthorized access or extraction by malicious actors.
