The product does not use or incorrectly uses a protection mechanism that provides sufficient defense against directed attacks against the product.

**Stack:** Docker

- Prevalence: उच्च बार-बार शोषित
- Impact: उच्च 1 उच्च गंभीरता वाले नियम
- Prevention: प्रलेखित 8 फिक्स उदाहरण

**OWASP:** Security Misconfiguration (A05:2021-Security Misconfiguration) - #5

## Description

This weakness covers three distinct situations: Missing a protection mechanism, using a faulty protection mechanism, or incorrectly applying a protection mechanism. A missing protection mechanism occurs when the application does not defend against a specific attack. A faulty protection mechanism occurs when the application does defend against a specific attack, but the protection mechanism is not implemented correctly.

### Docker

Add a HEALTHCHECK instruction to enable container health monitoring

## Warning Signs

- [LOW] Dockerfile has no HEALTHCHECK instruction for container health monitoring
- [LOW] Dockerfiles missing HEALTHCHECK instructions for container monitoring

## Consequences

- सुरक्षा तंत्र को बायपास करना
- अनधिकृत कोड निष्पादित करना
- विशेषाधिकार प्राप्त करना

## Mitigations

- सुरक्षा की अनेक परतें (defense in depth) लागू करें
- कस्टम कार्यान्वयनों के बजाय उद्योग-मानक, परीक्षित सुरक्षा तंत्रों का उपयोग करें
- सुनिश्चित करें कि सुरक्षा तंत्रों को बायपास या निष्क्रिय न किया जा सके

## Detection

- Total rules: 8
- Languages: dockerfile, go, javascript, typescript

## Rules by Language

### Dockerfile (1 rules)

- **Missing Healthcheck Configuration** [LOW]: Detects Dockerfiles missing HEALTHCHECK instructions for container monitoring.
  - Remediation: Add a HEALTHCHECK instruction to monitor container health.

```dockerfile
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=10s --retries=3 \
  CMD curl -f http://localhost:8080/health || exit 1
```
