Every dev using containers has hit this problem: you start with a public base image, and before writing a single line of code, you’ve inherited hundreds (or thousands) of vulnerabilities.
Public repos prioritize convenience, not security. Most “latest” images are bloated, outdated, and a CVE time bomb.
We built images.root.io to fix that—a free, curated repository of low-vulnerability, developer-friendly container images that just work:
- 10x fewer CVEs than “latest” images—without breaking compatibility.
- Debian & Ubuntu-based—so you get stability without the headaches.
- Continuously patched—we track upstream updates, so you don’t have to.
- Drop-in replacements for what you’re already using—no painful rebasing.
For teams that need zero critical/high vulnerabilities, Root AVR automates remediation in minutes—without forcing a rebase or breaking your infra.
