No, i meant docker. _All_ systems which pull dependencies from remote sources are subject to attack via malicious dependencies (and a docker image is one big mega-dependency made up of an arbitrary number of other (remote) dependencies).
Docker is not immune to container-escaping attacks, but they have proven to be relatively rare, thus the aforementioned blast-radius reduction compared to npm compromises.
(Edit: for that matter, all dependencies, remote or not, can be malicious, but remote dependencies are a particularly rich target for attackers.)
- mike-cardwell 6mo agoAh I see. Recommend you run "npm install" on your host then instead.
