A 2026 look at Alpine vs. Debian base image CVEs shows raw vulnerability counts mislead — patch cadence and reachability matter more than distro choice.
Outdated container images still running in production
New industry data shows most production containers still run on stale, vulnerable base images months after fixes ship -- here's why, and how to close the gap.
Distroless image security trend report
