Layerleak Exposes Hardcoded Secrets in Public Docker Images

Layerleak fills a critical security gap by scanning publicly available Docker Hub images for exposed credentials that traditional secret detection tools often miss. Unlike generic scanners, it understands Docker/OCI internals and analyzes image layers, deleted artifacts, and metadata to uncover hardcoded secrets. This matters because developers frequently publish images with embedded credentials, creating supply chain vulnerabilities that impact all downstream users of those images.
