Proposal
Add annotations, e.g.,
org.opencontainers.security.contact
: A link or e-mail address for people to contact you about security issues.
org.opencontainers.security.encryption
: A link to a key which security researchers should use to securely talk to you.
User Stories
- As a security researcher, I want to know how to contact the image maintainer about security issues.
- As a security researcher, I want to know how to securely communicate with the image maintainer
Background
For websites, there is security.txt
(https://securitytxt.org/) and the corresponding RFC 9116 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9116).
One could transfer this idea to container images.
