A Compose service uses the host network stack (network_mode: host). Every port it opens is exposed directly on the host interfaces and it can reach services bound to the host's loopback address.

Category: SECURITY · Engine rule severity: INFO

How to fix it

Use the default bridge network and publish only the required ports, bound to 127.0.0.1 when the service does not need to be reachable from other machines.
