Package-level urgency is colliding with image-level evidence.
Fast exposure answers protect incident response, while precise evidence protects trust in signed image records.
Who you’d be doing this for
“A security lead asked for our affected images before lunch, and I was still stitching together SBOM exports.”

What is at stake
Platform security engineers are manually rebuilding affected-image lists when package alerts arrive. You must weigh a useful first query surface against durable API semantics and evidence accuracy.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- fast exposure answers vs evidence fidelity
- pilot scope vs durable API contracts
- customer self-service vs notification simplicity
- catalog scale vs query responsiveness
Why Chainguard
Signed and attested container images need to remain actionable when customers face a new package vulnerability.
