Hi, I'm Lumière Minka 👋
Software Engineer • Cybersecurity • Linux & Cloud
I'm a Software Engineer interested in cybersecurity, Linux systems, container security, and cloud computing.
During my research internship at IRISA / Inria Rennes, I worked on the security implications of containers for stateless Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, with a focus on Linux kernel vulnerabilities, Docker environments, and container isolation.
I enjoy understanding how systems behave at their boundaries, where software, operating systems, containers, and cloud infrastructure meet.

Containers & Security for FaaS
My research work at IRISA / Inria focuses on the security implications of using containers as isolation mechanisms for stateless FaaS platforms.
The work involves:
- Linux kernel vulnerability analysis
- CVE investigation and PoC development
- Docker-based experimentation
- Container isolation analysis
- Experimental security evaluation
- Automation and statistical analysis
«How secure are containers when used as isolation boundaries for serverless workloads?»
📚 Research & Publication
Are Containers So Insecure for FaaS? An Analysis of 186 CVEs Spanning 2019 to 2026
Research work conducted in the context of my internship at IRISA / Inria Rennes, investigating the security implications of using containers for stateless Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms.
The work analyzes 186 CVEs affecting Linux systems and evaluates their behavior in containerized environments.
Status: Submitted for publication at PoPETs 2027.2.
📂 Selected Projects
🔎 "CVE_Pocs" (https://github.com/Light-Mudry/CVE_Pocs)
A collection of C-based proof-of-concept implementations developed to study selected CVEs and their underlying vulnerability mechanisms.
Focus: Linux kernel security, memory safety, vulnerability analysis, and security experimentation.
🛡️ "Security Code Risk Analyzer" (https://github.com/Light-Mudry/security-code-risk-analyzer)
A Python-based static analysis project for identifying potential security risks in source code.
The project explores:
- Security rules
- Source-to-sink dataflow analysis
- Context-aware confidence analysis
- Risk scoring
- Automated testing
🎯 Current Focus
I'm currently exploring opportunities in:
Software Engineering · Cybersecurity · R&D · Systems Security · Cloud Computing · PhD / Research
I'm particularly interested in projects involving Linux, system security, containers, cloud infrastructure, vulnerability research, and secure software engineering.
