Trivy. A Simple and Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanner for Containers.

Using Trivy:

Trivy is a mature and comprehensive open source tool from Aqua Security that supports scanning multiple sources, from file systems to containers and VMs. Trivy also looks beyond vulnerabilities, to scan licenses, secrets, infrastructure as code misconfiguration, and more.

I would suggest to think about the thread model that you are facing so you can have a better mental model of the weak points of your environment. The very very big majority of these attacks will be automated probing for publicly known vulnerabilities or default credentials. That means the maintainers of the software you are running and the channels on which their updates are shipped to you and deployed are very important factors. For software that is not installed from a trusted and well maintained source (e.g. Ubuntus main repository), you want to make extra sure that vulnerabilities are updated. E.g. your deployed docker containers might contain security issues, you can run checks on these with tools like trivy. The same is also true for appliances, in case your router or firewall contains a software vulnerability, how will you be notified and how will the required updates be deployed?

Try running your yaml through: https://validkube.com/

I would suggest to also check validkube from Komodor, which also incorporates other checks as well

The team at Komodor is working on a new open-source project (it's the second one after ValidKube), and I wanted to get a sense of the pain some of you may be experiencing with Helm.

Komodor, Founded 2020, 325 stars

ValidKube is a new open-source tool by komodor that combines several tools to make it easier to validate, clean, and secure Kubernetes YAML configuration files. ValidKube is a browser-based tool, which means it is immediately accessible to anyone willing to try it out without needing to install the individual tools. It has 4 tools which are available on Github. Just enter the YAML and let ValidKube Handle the rest.

I’d appreciate any feedback. Feel free to share your experience, and of course contribute to the project to add more capabilities and tools >>> https://github.com/komodorio/validkube

Validkube is an open-source site designed to help developer teams quickly validate, secure, and clean their Kubernetes YAML.

The idea behind Validkube is to fuse together the capabilities of three other popular open-source projects (kubeval, kubectl-neat and trivy) and present them in a single view, providing users with a way to ensure YAML code hygiene and security, in one place, with just a few clicks of the button.
