Docker Socket Mounted as Volume

CRITICAL

Dockerfile mounts Docker socket. This gives the container full control over the host Docker daemon, equivalent to root access.

Dangerous Capability Added

HIGH

Service adds dangerous capability. These capabilities can be used for container escape or privilege escalation.

Lambda SQL Injection via psycopg2 cursor.execute()

CRITICAL

Lambda event data flows to psycopg2 cursor.execute() without parameterization, enabling SQL injection against RDS PostgreSQL or Aurora PostgreSQL backends.

XSS via Unsafe html/template Type Conversions

HIGH

User input cast to template.HTML, template.CSS, template.JS, or template.URL bypasses Go's context-aware auto-escaping, allowing raw attacker payload to reach the browser.

Missing HEALTHCHECK Instruction

LOW

No HEALTHCHECK instruction. Container health cannot be monitored by orchestrators, reducing reliability and observability.

Docker Socket Exposed to Container

CRITICAL

Service mounts Docker socket. The owner of this socket is root. Giving container access to it is equivalent to giving unrestricted root access to host.
