dockerfile-scan

dockerfile-scan is a skill for Claude Code from NovaCode37/claude-security-skills. It costs 96 tokens per session (512 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A text scanner for Dockerfiles, which are build instructions for container images. It looks for common unsafe commands and settings without requiring Docker or a network connection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review base-image tags, USER settings, remote curl or wget commands, remote ADD instructions, secret-like ENV or ARG values, chmod 777, and sudo usage.
Why use it?
It points out patterns that can expose secrets, run containers as root, execute untrusted remote code, weaken file permissions, or make image sources less reproducible.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade D, and why

dockerfile-scan scanned grade D with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scanner.py, tests/test_scanner.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

What it actually says

Dockerfile Security Scan

Parses a Dockerfile and flags common security and supply-chain problems, each with a concrete fix. Pure text analysis — no Docker daemon, no network, stdlib only.

When to use this skill

  • "Review this Dockerfile for security issues."
  • "Is my container running as root?"
  • "Lint my Dockerfiles before I push them."

What it checks

  • Base image pinning — missing tag or :latest (docker-no-tag, docker-latest-tag).
  • Runs as root — no USER, or final USER is root (docker-root-user).
  • Remote code execution — curl|wget … | sh (docker-remote-exec).
  • Remote ADD — ADD http://… without integrity checks (docker-add-remote).
  • Hardcoded secrets — ENV/ARG with a secret-looking name and a value (docker-hardcoded-secret).
  • Loose permissions — chmod 777 (docker-chmod-777).
  • sudo usage in RUN (docker-sudo).

How to run it

# Scan one Dockerfile
python skills/dockerfile-scan/scanner.py path/to/Dockerfile

# Scan every Dockerfile under a directory, as JSON
python skills/dockerfile-scan/scanner.py . --json

Exit codes: 0 clean · 1 findings present · 2 usage/IO error.

  1. Run the scan on the file or repo.
  2. Present findings by severity, each with its one-line fix.
  3. Offer a corrected Dockerfile snippet (pinned base image, non-root USER, COPY instead of remote ADD, secrets moved to runtime).
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

dockerfile-scan is a skill published in the GitHub repository NovaCode37/claude-security-skills (11 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 512 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
