OpenSSF: Scanning open source packages for malicious behavior Posted by 882542F3884314B on Monday May 02, 2022 @02:18PM from the openssf.org dept. https://openssf.org/blog/2022/04/28/introducing-package-analysis-scanning-open-source-packages-for-malicious-behavior/ ( 4 comments | 2 points | on HN )
It's running a Podman container (like Docker but daemon-less) with a GVisor runtime for isolation inside the docker container.
The outer container is privileged, but doesn't run any attacker controlled code.
But, yeah, seeing those two strings together in the same command is certainly amusing.
`--privileged` is needed to run the container inside a container.

This is particularly useful for using Kubernetes to manage a cluster of instances.
