Description

  • This is a bug report
  • This is a feature request
  • I searched existing issues before opening this one

Expected behavior

Running SSH in a container is a security risk and having hadolint catch occurrences of this in dockerfiles would be a beneficial feature. This could be done by either checking for mentions of ssh or openssh being added as a package or mentions of ssh or openssh being used as container entry points.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how hadolint currently detects package installations (e.g., apt get, apk) and entry points. Look at existing rules like DL3008 for inspiration. Determine how to check for SSH related packages and if the entry point includes an SSH server.
