AWS wickr high security documentation change

Service: wickr · 2026-05-16 · Security-related high

File: wickr/latest/adminguide-classic/using-env-variables.md

Summary

Removed host networking from Docker command, added timerotate environment variable, and updated image path

Security assessment

Removing '--network=host' significantly improves security by eliminating dangerous host network exposure. This directly mitigates container escape risks and network-based attacks (CWE-918, CVE-2020-15257). The timerotate addition reduces data exposure window.
