Chainguard based images, packages and libraries are first line of defense. Expensive? Yes. Foolproof? No. I think these types services will be mandatory in the near future.

How would that help? These are not general purpose, base system libraries, these are libraries specific to a product that uses them. Either you're not using them and hence they would not be installed in the first place, or you're using them because you have the product installed.

Though I would expect that Insights uses RPM packages to ship components and not the public NPM packages.

  • it wouldn't surprise me if insights was in fact a wrapper around npm install
