container-grype

Scanning a container image for vulnerabilities using Grype involves running the grype command against your Docker or OCI image to detect OS package and language dependency risks, outputting a vulnerability report.

Grype uses CVSS, EPSS, and KEV indicators for threat prioritization, ranking discovered container vulnerabilities to focus remediation efforts on the most critical OS package and dependency risks.

Yes, you can integrate container vulnerability scanning into a CI/CD pipeline by embedding Grype into build and release workflows, producing SARIF, JSON, or CycloneDX reports to enforce security gates.

Yes, Grype supports SBOM analysis for Docker and OCI images, scanning Software Bills of Materials to identify known vulnerabilities across OS packages and language dependencies within container images.

Available output formats for container vulnerability reports include table, JSON, SARIF, and CycloneDX, enabling integration with CI/CD pipelines and existing security tooling dashboards.

You need to generate SARIF or CycloneDX reports for container security when integrating vulnerability findings into CI/CD pipelines, security dashboards, or automated remediation workflows to enforce build gates.
