Code Review
This pull request, generated by Snyk, aims to upgrade the alpine base image from 3.17 to 3.23.3 to fix security vulnerabilities. While upgrading is important, this PR modifies a file that is auto-generated. The header of the Dockerfile explicitly warns against direct edits. Consequently, this change will be overwritten when the generation script is run again, making the fix temporary and leading to future confusion. The change also creates a mismatch between the directory name (alpine3.17) and the image version inside the file. The correct approach is to modify the template generation logic itself, not the output.

This change is applied to an auto-generated file, which is incorrect. The file header (lines 2-4) explicitly states: 'PLEASE DO NOT EDIT IT DIRECTLY'.
Modifying this file directly has two major problems:
- Temporary Fix: The change will be lost the next time the
apply-templates.shscript is run to regenerate Dockerfiles, reintroducing the vulnerabilities. - Inconsistency: The directory name
alpine3.17no longer matches the base imagealpine:3.23.3defined in the file, which is misleading.
To fix this permanently, the underlying template or version configuration (likely in versions.json or versions.sh) should be updated.
Snyk has created this PR to fix 2 vulnerabilities in the dockerfile dependencies of this project.
Keeping your Docker base image up-to-date means you’ll benefit from security fixes in the latest version of your chosen image.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
