Rationale**: + +All 9 vulnerabilities are Alpine OS base image packages with no upstream patches available. The assessed risk is LOW across all CVEs due to: + +1. Effective containerization and isolation +2. No attack surface exposure through Charon application +3. Hardcoded, internal-only usage of affected utilities +4. Multiple layers of defense-in-depth mitigation +5. Active monitoring and automated remediation process + +The decision to accept these risks is consistent with industry best practices for vulnerability management in containerized applications pending upstream security patches. + +--- + +## References + +### Official Sources + +- [Alpine Linux Security Team](https://security.alpinelinux.org/) +- [Alpine Security Advisories](https://security.alpinelinux.org/vuln) +- [National Vulnerability Database (NVD)](https://nvd.nist.gov/) +- [MITRE CVE Database](https://cve.mitre.org/) +- [CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities](https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog) + +### Project Documentation + +- [Charon Security Policy](../../SECURITY.md) +- [Supply Chain Security Documentation](./supply-chain-no-cache-solution.md) +- [Accepted Risks (Legacy)](./accepted-risks.md) +- [PR #461 Remediation Plan](../plans/current_spec.md) + +### Standards & Frameworks + +- [NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5](https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-53/rev-5/final) +- [OWASP Risk Rating Methodology](https://owasp.org/www-community/OWASP_Risk_Rating_Methodology) +- [CIS Controls v8](https://www.cisecurity.org/controls/v8) +- [ISO 27001:2022](https://www.iso.org/standard/27001) + +--- + +**Document Version**: 1.0 +**Last Updated**: 2026-01-13 +**Next Review**: 2026-02-13
