OpenShift must continuously scan components, containers, and images for vulnerabilities.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Finding vulnerabilities quickly within the container platform and within containers deployed within the platform is important to keep the overall platform secure. When a vulnerability within a component or container is unknown or allowed to remain unpatched, other containers and customers within the platform become vulnerability. The vulnerability can lead to the loss of application data, organizational infrastructure data, and Denial-of-Service (DoS) to hosted applications. Vulnerability scanning can be performed by the container platform or by external applications.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
