Summary

Moves the ruvnet/wifi-densepose:latest runtime stage (docker/Dockerfile.rust) from debian:bookworm-slim to distroless gcr.io/distroless/cc-debian12:debug, shrinking the OS attack surface flagged by Docker Scout in #1140.

Closes #1140.

Background (analysis of #1140)

The report listed 37 base-image CVEs (1 Critical / 2 High / 4 Medium / 28 Low / 2 unspecified). All are real, but none is reachable in this image:

  • The runtime executes a single Rust binary — no Perl, Python, or compiler runs in the container.
  • The 1 Critical + 2 High are all perl, and 6 of the 8 perl CVEs (including both Highs — IO::Compress/IO::Uncompress/HTTP::Tiny) reference modules that aren't even installed in the slim base.
  • The Critical (CVE-2026-12087, Socket out-of-bounds read, AV:N) needs a running Perl program calling the affected function — there is none.
  • None has a fix in Debian 12, so re-pulling debian:12-slim would clear nothing.

The fix removes the packages at the source by switching to distroless, which ships only glibc + libgcc/libstdc++ + libssl + the CA bundle.

Changes

Verification (MEASURED — linux/arm64, Docker 29.5.3)

Check Result
docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.rust clean, 80.3 MB
Builder-stage UI/binary asset check passed
Busybox entrypoint runs #864 fail-closed logic default 0.0.0.0 + no token → exit 64
Rust binary boots in distroless (glibc + libssl3 resolve) no missing-shared-library errors

GET /api/v1/sensing/latest (CSI_SOURCE=simulated) live JSON

Package surface: runtime tracked dpkg set drops to 10 packagesbase-files, gcc-12-base, libc6, libgcc-s1, libgomp1, libssl3, libstdc++6, media-types, netbase, tzdata. perl/apt/tar/gnupg/pam/shadow/systemd/util-linux/coreutils are all absent.

Net against the reported 37: the 1 Critical + 2 High + all 4 Medium are eliminated, plus ~21 of the 28 Lows. Remaining residuals are the irreducible glibc/openssl/gcc-base baseline Lows present in any glibc-based image.

The base-image swap does not touch CSI ingestion, so on-hardware (ESP32) sensing behaviour is unchanged from the prior image.

Move the Dockerfile.rust runtime stage from debian:bookworm-slim to
distroless gcr.io/distroless/cc-debian12:debug to shrink the OS attack
surface flagged by Docker Scout (37 base-image CVEs in ruvnet#1140).

All 37 CVEs are real but unreachable — the container runs a single Rust
binary with no Perl/Python/compiler, the 1 Critical + 2 High are all in
perl modules not installed in the slim base, and none have a Debian 12
fix (so re-pulling slim clears nothing). Distroless cc-debian12 ships
only glibc + libgcc/libstdc++ + libssl + the CA bundle and drops perl,
apt, tar, gnupg, pam, shadow, systemd libs at the source.

- Use :debug variant: entrypoint is a /bin/sh script with real security
  logic (ruvnet#864 fail-closed auth + routing); invoke it via /busybox/sh.
- Move the ruvnet#520/ruvnet#514 UI-asset + binary regression check into the builder
  stage (the distroless runtime has no shell to RUN it in).

Not yet built/verified in this env — needs a real docker build of
docker/Dockerfile.rust + on-hardware (COM7) verification per the release
process before publishing.
