Description
Summary
The official graphprotocol/graph-node:v0.41.0 container image uses Debian
Bookworm as its runtime base:
https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node/blob/v0.41.0/docker/Dockerfile
A container scan reports that the runtime image includes Debian's perl-base
package and flags the following publicly disclosed vulnerabilities:
- CVE-2026-12087
- CVE-2026-48959
- CVE-2026-48961
- CVE-2026-48962
The current Graph Node Dockerfile also appears to use a dated Debian Bookworm
runtime base:
https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile
Request
Would the maintainers consider one of the following?
- Refresh the pinned Debian Bookworm runtime base.
- Upgrade the affected Perl packages when fixed Bookworm packages become
available. - Remove Perl from the final runtime image if it is not required by Graph Node.
- Publish a rebuilt image after the relevant Debian updates become available.
Reproduction
The installed packages can be inspected with:
docker run --rm --entrypoint sh graphprotocol/graph-node:v0.41.0 -c \
'cat /etc/os-release; dpkg-query -W perl-base perl libsocket-perl libio-compress-perl 2>/dev/null || true'
