Build Level 3
Tamper-evident proof of how and from what sources this image was built. Build Level 3 is the highest the SLSA build track defines.
CycloneDX SBOM + SPDX SBOM
A software bill of materials in both CycloneDX and SPDX formats so it drops straight into your existing tooling. Audit exactly what you're shipping.
A Vulnerability Exploitability exchange document, Docker's assessment of which CVEs actually affect this image and which don't apply, so you can focus on real risk instead of chasing false positives.
Available
A link to everything used to build the image, package source code, Git repos, and build files, so you can audit or reproduce the build and stay compliant with open source licenses.
Every known vulnerability in this image, shown in full rather than hidden. The VEX data flags which ones actually apply, so you can tell real exposure from noise before you ship.
Exactly what changed in this build, down to the package bumps and fixes behind the version you're pulling.
Verifies no keys, tokens, or credentials were accidentally baked into the image.
The image layers were scanned for known malware signatures before publishing.
About GitLab Shell
GitLab Shell handles Git operations over SSH for GitLab. This image runs gitlab-sshd, the standalone Go SSH server
used by Cloud Native GitLab (CNG) deployments: it terminates incoming SSH connections, authenticates the client's SSH
key or certificate against the GitLab internal API, and routes authorized Git operations to the rest of the GitLab
stack.
Unlike the OpenSSH-based mode, gitlab-sshd is a self-contained daemon that listens for SSH directly and exposes
Prometheus metrics and health endpoints over HTTP, making it well suited to Kubernetes and Docker Compose deployments
where GitLab services run as separate containers.

About Docker Hardened Images
Docker Hardened Images are built to meet the highest security and compliance standards. They provide a trusted foundation for containerized workloads by incorporating security best practices from the start.
Why use Docker Hardened Images?
These images are published with near-zero known CVEs, include signed provenance, and come with a complete Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and VEX metadata. They're designed to secure your software supply chain while fitting seamlessly into existing Docker workflows.
