@pantierra @batpad @emmanuelmathot @sunu is there any reason to not include this change? Conscious it's been open for ~2 months now |

I think we wanted to check on Vincent's suggestion to "create a user within the image which has no critical filesystem access". Now I am wondering if this is still a problem, as it seemed to be fixed upstream. |

Skip VRT driver to prevent arbitrary file reading vulnerability reported in GDAL issue OSGeo/gdal#12645 and developmentseed/titiler#1180. This configuration prevents exploitation of GDAL's VRT driver which can be used to read arbitrary files from the filesystem.

Closes #242:
Skip VRT driver to prevent arbitrary file reading vulnerability reported in GDAL issue OSGeo/gdal#12645 and developmentseed/titiler#1180. This configuration prevents exploitation of GDAL's VRT driver which can be used to read arbitrary files from the filesystem.
Addresses #242. But we might need additional precautions to prevent arbitrary filesystem access through other GDAL drivers.
