Dockerfile Security Linter & Optimizer

Unpinned Base Image (:latest)

Avoid using :latest tag. Pin explicit versions (e.g. node:20.11-alpine) for deterministic reproducible builds.

Plaintext Secret in Image Layer

Hardcoded secrets in ENV layers remain visible in container images. Use BuildKit secrets (--mount=type=secret) or runtime env files.

Container Runs as Root

No non-privileged USER directive found. Running containers as root poses container breakout security risks.
