Since new vulnerabilities are always being discovered, you may not always know if your containers may have recently-disclosed vulnerabilities (CVEs) or outdated packages. To maintain a strong security posture, do regular production scanning of first-party containers (applications you have built and previously scanned) as well as third-party containers (which are sourced from trusted repository and vendors). Open Source projects such as Trivy, Grype, and Clair can assist in identifying and prioritizing vulnerabilities. Attribution: Adapted from OWASP Cheat Sheet Series under CC-BY-SA-4.0.
