services / Azure / Container registry quarantined images

Quarantined images are container images held in a gated, not-yet-validated state in an Azure Container Registry pending security scanning/content-trust approval before they may be pulled normally.

The quarantine gate is a defense control; reading/modifying it bypasses image vetting and can expose unvetted artifact content.

Pulls quarantined images, exporting the image content/layers (which may contain sensitive code and data) before they have passed the security gate.
