RapidFort optimized, hardened image for Curl
50K+
RapidFort has optimized and hardened this Curl container image. This container is free to use and has no license limitations.
This optimized image is functionally equivalent to curlimages Curl image but more secure with a significantly smaller software attack surface.
Every day, RapidFort automatically optimizes and hardens a growing bank of Docker Hub’s most important container images.

# Check everything works properly by running:
$ docker run --rm rapidfort/curl:latest --version
# Here is a more specific example of running curl docker container:
$ docker run --rm rapidfort/curl:latest -L -v https://curl.haxx.se
# To work with files it is best to mount directory:
$ docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/work" rapidfort/curl -d@/work/test.txt https://httpbin.org/post
A hardened container image is a functionally equivalent copy of a container image that has been optimized by removing unnecessary software components, significantly reducing its software attack surface and improving its security. Removing unnecessary software components is a critical practice to protect your infrastructure from attacks and limiting the blast radius of any attacks.
This image is a hardened version of the official curlimages Curl image on Docker Hub.
RapidFort is the pioneering Software Attack Surface Management (SASM) platform in the market. Many container images can be reduced by 60-90%, have far fewer vulnerabilities, and load much faster because of their reduced size. Learn more at RapidFort.com.
Vulnerability reports for RapidFort's hardened images are updated daily to include newly discovered vulnerabilities and fixes.
RapidFort’s hardened rapidfort/curl image has been optimized by RapidFort's SASM platform and is functionally equivalent to the original image.
We are big fans of open-source software and secure software development. RapidFort's community images are our way of giving back to the community and helping reduce the burden on security and development teams.
