Recently splunk official image scanned with one of our scanners (Prisma Cloud) and it's showing 250+ CVEs in it.

We are using splunk docker from https://hub.docker.com/r/splunk/splunk/tags?page=1

Is this image legitimate and offcial?

Can anybody help with it? So many CVEs in one image is confusing us...

We have started daily scanning for these images internally on the latest/upcoming splunk versions, and we are focusing on efforts to resolve all critical/high level vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, most of these are coming from the Splunk product itself and not from the docker image layers that we build. We have resolved all critical and most high level vulnerabilities that are not coming from the Splunk build for the upcoming release.
