How to use this skill
Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.
- Open your project in Codex.
- Copy and paste the prompt below.
- Review files and risks before approving any action.
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/CyberStrikeus/CyberStrike/blob/HEAD/.cyberstrike/skill/CIS_benchmarks/Server_Software/Docker/CIS_Docker_Benchmark_v1.7.0/cis-docker-v170-1.2.2/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/cis-docker-v170-1-2-2, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

CIS Docker Benchmark v1.7.0 - Control 1.2.2
Profile
- Level: 1 - Docker - Linux
- Assessment Status: Manual
Description
Frequent releases for Docker are issued which address security vulnerabilities, resolve product bugs and bring in new functionality. You should keep a tab on these product updates and upgrade as frequently as possible in line with the general IT security policy of your organization.
Rationale
By staying up to date on Docker updates, vulnerabilities in the software can be mitigated. An experienced attacker may be able to exploit known vulnerabilities resulting in them being able to attain inappropriate access or to elevate their privileges. If you do not ensure that Docker is running the most current release consistent with the requirements of of your application, you may introduce unwanted behaviour and it is therefore important to ensure that you monitor software versions and upgrade in a timely fashion.
Impact
You should perform a risk assessment regarding Docker version updates and review how they may impact your operations. You should be aware that third-party products that use Docker may require older major versions of Docker to be supported, and this should be reviewed in line with the general IT security policy of your organization, particularly where security vulnerabilities in older versions have been publicly disclosed.
Audit Procedure
You should execute the command below in order to verify that the Docker version is up to date in line with the requirements of the application you are running. It should be noted that it is not a security requirement to be at the most up to date version, provided the version you are using does not contain any critical or high security vulnerabilities.
docker version
Remediation
You should monitor versions of Docker releases and make sure your software is updated as required.
