How this service works
Lint a Dockerfile for security and best practice: unpinned or latest images, running as root, secrets in ENV/ARG, curl piped to sh, ADD of URLs, apt and pip caches, sudo, chmod 777, missing HEALTHCHECK. Scored.
Output
A scored report of Dockerfile issues, with findings across checks including: unpinned or 'latest' base images, running as root, secrets exposed in ENV/ARG, curl-piped-to-shell patterns, ADD with URLs, uncleaned apt/pip caches, use of sudo, chmod 777 permissions, and missing HEALTHCHECK directives. Each finding is categorized by severity or best-practice type, and an aggregate score is returned.
Example use cases
Pre-commit Dockerfile security gate
“Before I commit this Dockerfile to the repo, can you check it for security problems and best-practice violations — I want to know if it runs as root, uses unpinned images, or leaks secrets in ENV or ARG?
FROM python:latest
ENV API_KEY=supersecret
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
CMD ["python", "app.py"]”
CI pipeline quality score check
“Run a lint and security score on this Dockerfile as part of our CI pipeline and tell me the overall score plus any findings:
FROM node:18
RUN apt-get install -y wget && wget https://example.com/install.sh | sh
ADD https://example.com/config.tar.gz /app/
CMD ["node", "server.js"]”
Dockerfile hardening audit for production
“Audit this Dockerfile for production readiness — flag anything dangerous like chmod 777, sudo, curl piped to shell, or a missing HEALTHCHECK, and give me a security score:
FROM ubuntu:20.04
RUN chmod 777 /app
RUN sudo apt-get install -y python3
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["./start.sh"]”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://bess-x402.onrender.com/v1/dev/dockerfile-lint?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, scored, multi-check security and best-practice audit of a Dockerfile without setting up a local linting tool like Hadolint. It is especially useful in CI/CD pipelines, pre-commit hooks, or agent workflows where you want a programmatic score and structured findings for a single Dockerfile. Prefer this over general code review endpoints when Docker-specific checks (unpinned images, HEALTHCHECK, curl-to-shell) are the priority.
Side effects
- Missing 'dockerfile' query parameter returns an error
- Malformed or empty Dockerfile content may produce no findings or an error
- Very large Dockerfiles may hit request size limits
- Service unavailability on Render free tier (cold starts or downtime)
- Payment failure for x402 micropayment may block the request
