In February 2025, Alexandre Arlaud developed Kaniko archive image scanning for the snyk/snyk-docker-plugin repository. He implemented a Kaniko archive extractor and integrated support for Kaniko archives into the existing image extraction workflow, updating image type detection and archive path parsing to recognize this new format. Using TypeScript and Node.js, Alexandre focused on archive handling and Docker image scanning, expanding the plugin’s ability to assess vulnerabilities in images built with Kaniko pipelines. This work addressed the need for broader security coverage and compliance readiness, enhancing the container security posture for users who rely on Kaniko-based image builds in their workflows.
