Proposing a fix for something flagged in
agent-bot/Dockerfile. It is around line 15.The Dockerfile does not specify a USER, causing the application to run as root. Running with unnecessary root privileges increases the risk of privilege escalation; if an attacker compromises the process, they can gain full control over the container. This is a high‑severity issue (CWE‑250).
Added USER bun to run the application as a non‑root user, eliminating the security hazard of running as root.
For reference: rule
dockerfile.security.missing-user.missing-user, CWE-250 (Execution with Unnecessary Privileges). Rated high.I do not know the codebase, so please check the change fits how the rest of it works. Happy to adjust it or close this if the reasoning is off.
Found with automated scanning (RedGem) and reviewed before opening. If it is not useful, closing it is completely fine.
