Docker Security Dispatch — Issue 6: Wait Five Days, Take a SIP ☕

The repository was real. The publishing workflow was trusted. The provenance checked out.

The package was malicious anyway. August brought us a worm with excellent paperwork—and a reminder that knowing where software came from is not the same as knowing it is safe.

So what do you do when the worm arrives with its paperwork in order? Start by making it wait five days. Then take a SIP: the Security Immediate Plan.

Welcome to Docker Security Dispatch 6, reviewing August 2026. This month: a worm with valid provenance, a defense that buys you time, and five controls for when you only have a few hours. Plus a poisoned macchiato, the Commandos' comic-book debut, and a CRA deadline that won't wait for your coffee break.
