February 2026 monthly summary for aquasecurity/trivy-checks: Focused on expanding Talos Linux audit capabilities in the node collector. Delivered comprehensive Talos-specific file path auditing by extending node collector configuration to cover Talos paths across configuration, CA, service, kubeconfig, and CRI paths. The changes are implemented in commit f340381c4c6c38de31a9fba867c2cc5d25364fc0, which adds Talos-specific CA file paths (/system/secrets/kubernetes/), Talos service configuration paths (/system/services/), Talos kubeconfig paths for kubelet and kube-proxy, and CRI configuration paths, extending existing Talos support to full path coverage and aligning audit results with Talos deployment models. Note: Talos-specific init-system nuances and the need to adjust systemd mounts in trivy-operator configurations are documented in the commit as upcoming considerations.
