The CIS gate, the SBOM, the cosign signature and the matcher's verdict lived in NetOrk/base-os, the head of the chain. Every link below it -- base-python, engine, ui, satellite, the service images -- needs the same, so the tools move here, and every image repository pins them by commit. - image_tools: cis.py, cis_os.sh, sbom.py and verify.py from base-os. The image's own repository holds its cis.toml and packages.allow; both default to the working directory. - bin/sign.sh signs whatever platforms a reference holds: base-os's index of amd64 and arm64 (EXPECT_PLATFORMS) or a dev image's single manifest (image_tools/platforms.py). - bin/verify-base.sh checks every FROM image of a Dockerfile against cosign.pub before a build; one without a digest is refused (image_tools/dockerfile.py). - bin/install-cosign.sh installs cosign v3.1.3 for amd64 and arm64 runners, checked against the release checksums. - actions/verify-base, judge, sign wrap them for the workflows. - cosign.pub is the public half of the COSIGN_PRIVATE_KEY_B64 org secret, the key rotated on 2026-10-22.

image-tools
Judges, signs and verifies the container images of netOrk. Every image repository of NetOrk uses these tools at a pinned commit, so the same rules apply to every link of the chain:
netork/base-os ──► netork/base-python ──► netork/engine, netork/satellite
└─► netork/ui
└─► postgres, valkey, signal-api, apt-cacher-ng, unbound
Each link checks the signature of the image it builds on, is judged against CIS, and is signed with its CIS result and SBOM attached (NetOrk/netork#1390).
What it does
CIS gate (image_tools/cis.py) |
CIS Docker Benchmark 1.6.0 §4 and the CIS Debian Linux 12 controls that make sense in a container. Trivy measures what it automates; image_tools/cis_os.sh measures from inside the image. The image's repository decides the rest in its cis.toml and names the packages it may hold in packages.allow. |
SBOM (image_tools/sbom.py) |
The image's CycloneDX SBOM, as Trivy reads it. |
Signature (bin/sign.sh) |
A cosign signature on the reference and on every platform image behind it, with the CIS result and the SBOM as in-toto attestations. Nothing goes to a public transparency log. |
Verification (bin/verify-base.sh, bin/verify-signature.sh) |
Every FROM image of a Dockerfile is pinned by digest and signed with the key in cosign.pub. |
Verdict (image_tools/verify.py) |
Whether a rebuild improves on the pinned image, by netOrk's matcher (kb-server), for a base's nightly. |
Using it in a workflow
- name: Verify the base images
uses: https://git.netork.io/NetOrk/image-tools/actions/verify-base@<commit>
with:
dockerfiles: docker/engine/Dockerfile
# build the image, then:
- name: Judge it
uses: https://git.netork.io/NetOrk/image-tools/actions/judge@<commit>
with:
image: registry.netork.io/netork/engine:main-abc1234
arch: amd64
# push it, then:
- name: Sign it
uses: https://git.netork.io/NetOrk/image-tools/actions/sign@<commit>
env:
COSIGN_PRIVATE_KEY_B64: ${{ secrets.COSIGN_PRIVATE_KEY_B64 }}

The judge action reads cis.toml and packages.allow from the working directory by default.
The runner needs Docker, Python 3.11 or newer, and curl; cosign is installed by the actions,
pinned and checked against its release checksum (bin/install-cosign.sh).
Verifying an image yourself
cosign verify --key cosign.pub --insecure-ignore-tlog registry.netork.io/netork/base-os@sha256:…
cosign verify-attestation --key cosign.pub --insecure-ignore-tlog \
--type https://netork.io/attestations/cis/v1 registry.netork.io/netork/base-os@sha256:…
cosign.pub is the public half of the COSIGN_PRIVATE_KEY_B64 organization secret. The private
key comes base64 in one line: the runner masks a secret only where it appears whole.
