- Impact: Wysoki 1 reguł o wysokim poziomie
- Prevention: Udokumentowane 8 przykładów poprawek

**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

- Obejście mechanizmu ochrony
- Wykonanie nieautoryzowanego kodu
- Uzyskanie uprawnień

## Mitigations

- Wdrażaj wiele warstw zabezpieczeń (defense in depth)
- Stosuj sprawdzone, branżowe mechanizmy bezpieczeństwa zamiast własnych implementacji
- Zadbaj, aby mechanizmów ochrony nie dało się obejść ani wyłączyć

## 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
```
