Millions of artifacts and container images have been found exposed on the public internet via thousands of misconfigured Red Hat Quay registries, JFrog Artifactory, or Sonatype Nexus artifact registries. Many of these held confidential and sensitive proprietary code, placing those companies at enormous risk of data leaks and cyberattacks.
A new report from the Aqua Nautilus research team found 250 million artifacts and 65,600 container images were exposed, leaving five Fortune 500 companies, as well as “thousands of others”, at risk.
