Do not open a public issue for suspected vulnerabilities, leaked credentials, or account-specific trading information.
Report security concerns through GitHub Security Advisories for this repository. Include the affected image, tag or commit, reproduction steps, and any relevant logs with credentials redacted.
Security fixes are made on the main branch and published through the normal
image release workflow. Users should run current image tags and rebuild pinned
deployments regularly.
These images bundle Interactive Brokers software, IBC, Java runtime components, and Linux packages. Treat the resulting image as a privileged trading-session runtime:
- pass IB credentials with
IB_USER_FILEandIB_PASSWORD_FILEwhen possible; - do not expose VNC beyond trusted networks;
- prefer SSH tunneling or local-only binding for GUI access;
- keep persistent TWS settings volumes private because upstream software may write account-specific state there.
