5 threat patterns detected

high

tls connection failed

Could not establish TLS connection

high

brand impersonation

Domain 'dockerhub.work' mimics Docker Hub (hub.docker.com), the official Docker container registry. The use of 'dockerhub' as the hostname under a '.work' TLD is a classic combosquatting technique designed to impersonate the legitimate Docker Hub brand and deceive users or automated agents into trusting the domain. (location: domain: dockerhub.work)

high

phishing

The domain 'dockerhub.work' impersonates Docker Hub and operates without a valid TLS certificate (TLS connected=false, cert_valid=false). A site mimicking a major developer platform while serving over an invalid/no TLS connection is a strong indicator of a phishing site targeting developer credentials or CI/CD pipeline tokens. (location: metadata.json: tls.connected=false, tls.cert_valid=false)

high

credential harvesting

Docker Hub impersonation sites are commonly used to harvest Docker registry credentials, API tokens, and developer account passwords. The combination of brand impersonation and lack of valid TLS strongly suggests credential harvesting intent targeting DevOps users and automated deployment pipelines. (location: domain: dockerhub.work)

medium

malicious redirect

The domain could be used to serve malicious container image pull instructions or redirect CI/CD pipelines to pull tampered images, effectively acting as a rogue Docker registry endpoint. The '.work' TLD is frequently abused in redirect and typosquatting campaigns. (location: domain: dockerhub.work)

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

Common questions teams ask before deciding whether to use this domain in agent workflows.

Is dockerhub.work safe for AI agents to use?

dockerhub.work currently scores 47/100 with a suspicious verdict and medium confidence. The goal is to protect agents from high-risk context before they act on it. Treat this as a decision signal: higher scores suggest lower observed risk, while lower scores mean you should add review or block this domain.

How should I interpret the score and verdict?

Use the score as a policy threshold: 80–100 is safe, 50–79 is caution, 20–49 is suspicious, and 0–19 is dangerous. Teams often auto-allow safe, require human review for caution/suspicious, and block dangerous.

How does brin compute this domain score?

brin evaluates four dimensions: identity (source trust), behavior (runtime patterns), content (malicious instructions), and graph (relationship risk). Analysis runs in tiers: static signals, deterministic pattern checks, then AI semantic analysis when needed.

What do identity, behavior, content, and graph mean for this domain?

Identity checks source trust, behavior checks unusual runtime patterns, content checks for malicious instructions, and graph checks risky relationships to other entities. Looking at sub-scores helps you understand why an entity passed or failed.

Why does brin scan packages, repos, skills, MCP servers, pages, and commits?

brin performs risk assessments on external context before it reaches an AI agent. It scores that context for threats like prompt injection, hijacking, credential harvesting, and supply chain attacks, so teams can decide whether to block, review, or proceed safely.

Can I rely on a safe verdict as a full security guarantee?

No. A safe verdict means no significant risk signals were detected in this scan. It is not a formal guarantee; assessments are automated and point-in-time, so combine scores with your own controls and periodic re-checks.

When should I re-check before using an entity?

Re-check before high-impact actions such as installs, upgrades, connecting MCP servers, executing remote code, or granting secrets. Use the API in CI or runtime gates so decisions are based on the latest scan.
