Why a security audit?
Any tool that runs with elevated privileges on shared infrastructure needs to earn trust. Inspektor Gadget runs with root-level access on nodes to do its job, so an independent review of its security posture is a natural step as the project matures and adoption grows. OSTIF is a nonprofit dedicated to improving the security of open source software. Over the past ten years, OSTIF has managed security engagements that have uncovered more than 800 vulnerabilities across 120 open source projects.
Inspektor Gadget: Results from the first security auditWhat can companies do?
Companies can help us provide collective defense. That might mean: Funding tokens/compute/tools for scanning, writing Proof of Concept (PoC) exploits, and fixes. Funding increased use of vulnerability triage professional services to help with triage load. Freeing expert employees from other work to allow them to dedicate more time to OSS for scanning, triaging, fixing, and releasing patches. Please contact your open source maintainers directly, and reach out to projects@cncf.io if you’d like to coordinate across projects.
