The container platform registry must contain only container images for those capabilities being offered by the container platform.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Allowing container images to reside within the container platform registry that are not essential to the capabilities being offered by the container platform becomes a potential security risk. By allowing these non-essential container images to exist, the possibility for accidental instantiation exists. The images may be unpatched, not supported, or offer non-approved capabilities. Those images for customer services are considered essential capabilities.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
