Description: This PR is submitted to fix multiple vulnerability issues related to outdated docker compose-switch component.
The compose-switch is a compatibility layer from Docker that:
Translates docker-compose (v1 CLI) commands to docker compose (v2 CLI) - It intercepts calls to the legacy docker-compose command and translates them to use Docker Compose V2 under the hood
Provides backward compatibility - Allows users/scripts that use the old docker-compose syntax to continue working with Compose V2
This compose-switch repository has not been updated for last three years and still compiled with outdated golang version 1.16 giving below vulnerability alerts for images using docker-in-docker feature. As part of this change
installDockerComposeSwitchflag is being made false such that the compose-switch component isn't installed by default while attributing the docker-in-docker feature in any image.Changelog:
