Build Level 3
Tamper-evident proof of how and from what sources this image was built. Build Level 3 is the highest the SLSA build track defines.
CycloneDX SBOM + SPDX SBOM
A software bill of materials in both CycloneDX and SPDX formats so it drops straight into your existing tooling. Audit exactly what you're shipping.
-
A Vulnerability Exploitability exchange document, Docker's assessment of which CVEs actually affect this image and which don't apply, so you can focus on real risk instead of chasing false positives.
Available
A link to everything used to build the image, package source code, Git repos, and build files, so you can audit or reproduce the build and stay compliant with open source licenses.
Every known vulnerability in this image, shown in full rather than hidden. The VEX data flags which ones actually apply, so you can tell real exposure from noise before you ship.
Exactly what changed in this build, down to the package bumps and fixes behind the version you're pulling.
Verifies no keys, tokens, or credentials were accidentally baked into the image.
The image layers were scanned for known malware signatures before publishing.
About Perl
Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language known for its text processing capabilities and extensive CPAN ecosystem. Perl supports both procedural and object-oriented programming, and provides powerful built-in features for text manipulation, system administration, and network programming. Perl's philosophy emphasizes ease of use and practicality, making it a popular choice for system administration, web development, and network automation tasks.

About CPAN
CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) is the canonical software repository for Perl, hosting over 250,000 modules written by more than 14,000 contributors. The CPAN ecosystem provides Perl developers with a vast collection of reusable code for virtually any task, from web frameworks to scientific computing.
Docker Hardened Perl images include cpanminus (cpanm), a lightweight, zero-dependency CPAN client that makes installing Perl modules fast and easy. Additionally, Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL are pre-installed to provide robust SSL/TLS support for secure network communication.

About Docker Hardened Images
Docker Hardened Images are built to meet the highest security and compliance standards. They provide a trusted foundation for containerized workloads by incorporating security best practices from the start.
Why use Docker Hardened Images?
These images are published with zero-known CVEs, include signed provenance, and come with a complete Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and VEX metadata. They're designed to secure your software supply chain while fitting seamlessly into existing Docker workflows.
