K8S-025Low severity-4 points

Image has no explicit tag

Part of Security, which counts for 30% of the overall score. When this check fires it deducts 4 points from that category, once per scan, no matter how many places it turns up.

What it detects

An image reference with no tag resolves to :latest, which is mutable and non-reproducible. Digest-pinned or version-tagged images are excluded.

Why it matters

An image reference with no tag resolves to :latest, with the same mutability and reproducibility problems as pinning to latest explicitly: the running code can change without a manifest change and cannot be reliably rolled back. This check only flags references with no tag at all; digest-pinned and version-tagged images are excluded, and it is a heuristic.

How to fix it

Add an explicit immutable reference to each untagged image, a version tag such as 1.25.3 or a digest such as image@sha256:.... Confirm the tag you add matches what is currently deployed so behavior does not change unexpectedly. Update pins deliberately through CI rather than leaving images untagged.
