Docker is a popular tool for virtualization that allows for fast and easy deployment of applications and has been growing increasingly popular among companies. Docker also include a large library of images from the repository Docker Hub which mainly is user created and uncontrolled. This leads to low frequency of updates which results in vulnerabilities in the images. In this thesis we are developing a tool for determining what vulnerabilities that exists inside Docker images with a Linux distribution. This is done by using our own tool for downloading and retrieving the necessary data from the images and then utilizing Outpost24's scanner for finding vulnerabilities in Linux packages. With the help of this tool we also publish statistics of vulnerabilities from the top downloaded images of Docker Hub. The result is a tool that can successfully scan a Docker image for vulnerabilities in certain Linux distributions. From a survey over the top 1000 Docker images it has also been shown that the amount of vulnerabilities have increased in comparison to earlier surveys of Docker images.
