What it detects
Dockerfile pins to :latest (or no tag at all): an infrastructure as code check run by the textscan analyzer.
Evidence
The matching source path, line, and bounded code observation produced by the native rule.
Remediation
Pin to a specific tag or digest (e.g. `python:3.11.7-slim` or `python@sha256:…`). `:latest` makes builds unreproducible AND ships unreviewed upstream changes.
Limitations
This check is limited to the applicability and evidence delivered by textscan. Review the evidence in context; a match is a finding input, while confidence and policy determine its disposition.
