The container platform is responsible for pulling images from trusted sources and placing those images into its registry. To protect the transmission of images, the container platform must use FIPS-validated 140-2 or 140-3 cryptographic modules. This added protection defends against main-in-the-middle attacks where malicious code could be added to an image during transmission. |

Review the container platform configuration to determine if FIPS-validated 140-2 or 140-3 cryptographic modules are being used to protect container images during transmission. If FIPS-validated 140-2 or 140-3 cryptographic modules are not being use, this is a finding. |
