Fixes #1716
Problem
The container image uses
alpine:3.21.2as the runtime base, whichbundles BusyBox. Two CVEs are present:
netstatawkFix
driftctl is a statically compiled Go binary with no runtime dependencies
on Alpine or BusyBox. Switching to
gcr.io/distroless/staticeliminatesthe entire BusyBox attack surface.
Changes:
FROM alpine:3.21.2withFROM gcr.io/distroless/staticRUN chmod +x— unnecessary since binary permissions arepreserved from the builder stage and distroless has no shell
The builder stage (
golang:1.23) is unchanged.Testing
Image builds and runs identically — only the runtime base layer changes.
The binary entrypoint is unaffected.
