Dockerfile Gate and Triggers Deep Dive
End of Life Notice: The Sysdig Legacy Scanning Engine will reach its End of Life (EOL) on December 31st, 2024. After this date, it will no longer be supported or maintained. Please upgrade to our New Scanning Engine before December 31st, 2024 to ensure continuous service and support. For assistance, contact our support team or your account representative.
This article reviews the dockerfile gate and its triggers. Review the
documentation from
Docker
if you want more background on Dockerfiles themselves.
Conventions note: In this article, “Dockerfile” refers to the actual
file, while “dockerfile” refers to the Sysdig Secure gate used in
Policies.
The dockerfile gate in Sysdig Secure allows users to perform checks on
the content of the Dockerfile, or the Docker history for an image, and
make policy actions based on the construction of an image, not just
its content. This is particularly useful for enforcing best practices or
metadata inclusion (e.g. labels) on images.
Sysdig is either given a Dockerfile or infers one from the docker image layer history. There are implications to what data is available and what it means depending on these differing sources, so first, we’ll cover the input data for the gate and how it impacts the triggers and parameters used.
The “Dockerfile”
The data that this gate operates on can come from two different sources:
The actual Dockerfile used to build an image, as provided by the user at the time of running
sdc-cli image add <img ref> --dockerfile <filename>; or the corresponding API call to:POST /images?dockerfile=The history from layers as encoded in the image itself (see docker history
<img>for this output)
All images have data from history available, but data from the actual Dockerfile is only available when a user provides it. This also means that any images analyzed by automated alerts or the image analyzer will not have an actual Dockerfile.
Differences between Dockerfile and Docker History
Actual Dockerfile
FROMline is preserved, so the parent tag of the image is easily availableInstruction checks are all against instructions created during the build for that exact image, not any parent images
Note: When the
actual_dockerfile_onlyparameter is set totrue, all instructions from the parent image are ignored in policy processing. This may have some unexpected consequences depending on how your images are structured and layered (e.g. golden base images that establish common patterns of volumes, labels, healthchecks).COPY/ADDinstructions will maintain the actual values usedMultistage-builds in that specific dockerfile will be visible with multiple
FROMlines in the output
Docker history data (with no Dockerfile provided)
This is a best-effort option and can catch some things, but not all.
FROMline is not accurate, and will nearly always default toFROM scratchInstructions are processed from all layers in the image
COPYandADDinstructions are transformed into SHAs rather than the actual file path/name used at build-timeMulti-stage builds are not tracked with multiple FROM lines, only the copy operations between the phases
Using the actual_dockerfile_only Parameter to Avoid Checking History
The actual file vs history impacts the semantics of the Dockerfile
gate’s triggers. To allow explicit control of the differences, most
triggers in this gate includes a parameter:
actual_dockerfile_onlythat if set to true or false will ensure
the trigger check is only done on the source of data specified.
If actual_dockerfile_only = true, then the trigger will evaluate only
if an actual Dockerfile is available for the image and will skip
evaluation if not.
If actual_dockerfile_only is false or omitted, then the trigger will
run on the actual Dockerfile if available, or the history data if the
Dockerfile was not provided.
Understanding the FROM Line
In the actual Dockerfile, the FROM instruction is preserved and available as used to build the image. However, in the history data, the FROM line will always be the very first FROM instruction used (to build the image and all of its dependent images). In this case, the value in the history will be omitted and the scanning engine will automatically infer a FROM-scratch line, which is logically inserted for this gate if the history does not contain an explicit FROM entry.
The files below show how this would play out. See also: Using the Parameter to Avoid Checking History, to work around this outcome.
For example, using the docker.io/jenkins/jenkins image:

Triggers
This section provides more detail on four triggers than is found in the Scanning Policy Gates and Triggers reference.
Trigger: instruction
This trigger evaluates instructions found in the “dockerfile”.
Parameters
actual_dockerfile_only(optional). See Using the actual_dockerfile_only section, above.instruction:The dockerfile instruction to check against. One of:ADD
ARG
COPY
CMD
ENTRYPOINT
ENV
EXPOSE
FROM
HEALTHCHECK
LABEL
MAINTAINER
ONBUILD
USER
RUN
SHELL
STOPSIGNAL
VOLUME
WORKDIR
check: The comparison/evaluation to perform. One of:=, != , exists, not_exists, like, not_like, in, not_invalue(optional): A string value to compare against, if applicable
Examples
Ensure an image has a HEALTHCHECK defined in the image. Warn if not found
{
"gate": "dockerfile",
"trigger": "instruction",
"action": "warn",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "instruction",
"value": "HEALTHCHECK"
},
{
"name": "check",
"value": "not_exists"
}
]
}
Check for AWS environment variables set
{
"gate": "dockerfile",
"trigger": "instruction",
"action": "stop",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "instruction",
"value": "ENV"
},
{
"name": "check",
"value": "like"
},
{
"name": "value",
"value": "AWS_.*KEY"
}
]
}
Trigger: effective_user
This trigger processes all USER directives in the Dockerfile or history to determine which user will be used to run the container by default (assuming no user is set explicitly at runtime). The detected value is then subject to a whitelist or blacklist filter depending on the configured parameters. Typically, this is used for blacklisting the root user.
Parameters
actual_dockerfile_only(optional). See Using the actual_dockerfile_only section, above.users: A string with a comma-delimited list of username to check fortype:The type of check to perform. One of:blacklistorwhitelist. This determines how the value of theusersparameter is interpreted.
Examples
Blacklist root user
{
"gate": "dockerfile",
"trigger": "effective_user",
"action": "stop",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "users",
"value": "root"
},
{
"name": "type",
"value": "blacklist"
}
]
}
Blacklist root user but only if set in actual Dockerfile, not inherited from parent image
{
"gate": "dockerfile",
"trigger": "effective_user",
"action": "stop",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "users",
"value": "root"
},
{
"name": "type",
"value": "blacklist"
},
{
"name": "actual_dockerfile_only",
"value": "true"
}
]
}
Warn if the user is not either “nginx” or “jenkins”
{
"gate": "dockerfile",
"trigger": "effective_user",
"action": "warn",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "users",
"value": "nginx,jenkins"
},
{
"name": "type",
"value": "whitelist"
}
]
}
Trigger: exposed_ports
This trigger allows checks on the way the image was added, firing if the Dockerfile was not explicitly provided at analysis time. This is useful in identifying and qualifying other trigger matches.
Parameters
actual_dockerfile_only(optional). See Using the actual_dockerfile_only section, above.ports: String of comma-delimited port numbers to be checkedtype:The type of check to perform. One of:blacklistorwhitelist. This determines how the value of theusersparameter is interpreted.
Examples
Allow only ports 80 and 443. Trigger will fire on any port defined to be exposed that is not 80 or 443
{
"gate": "dockerfile",
"trigger": "exposed_ports",
"action": "warn",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "ports",
"value": "80,443"
},
{
"name": "type",
"value": "whitelist"
}
]
}
Blacklist ports 21 (ftp), 22 (ssh), and 53 (dns) . Trigger will fire a match on ports 21, 22, 53 if found in EXPOSE directives
{
"gate": "dockerfile",
"trigger": "exposed_ports",
"action": "warn",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "ports",
"value": "21,22,53"
},
{
"name": "type",
"value": "blacklist"
}
]
}
Trigger: no_dockerfile_provided
This trigger allows checks on the way the image was added, firing if the Dockerfile was not explicitly provided at analysis time. This is useful in identifying and qualifying other trigger matches.
Parameters
None
Examples
Raise a warning if no Dockerfile was provided at analysis time
{
"gate": "dockerfile",
"trigger": "no_dockerfile_provided",
"action": "warn",
"parameters": []
}
