The registry CAN re-push a different image for the same tag, so every build is potentially different. Production images should pin to `image@sha256:...` for reproducibility + supply-chain integrity.
Replace with: `FROM bellsoft/liberica-openjre-debian:25-cds@sha256:<digest>`. Get the digest from `docker manifest inspect`. Re-pin via a scheduled bot (Renovate, Dependabot).

Trojan binaries inside otherwise-normal source repos are a known supply-chain attack: a compromised dependency or PR slips in a binary that gets executed by build scripts.
Audit the binary's provenance. If it's vendored library code, document it in a VENDORED.md. If it's a build artifact, add the extension to .gitignore and rebuild from source.
