slim-container-vulnerability-scanning

Automate container vulnerability scanning by integrating Grype into your CI/CD pipeline and pre-commit hooks to gate code commits based on detected CVEs in Docker images and package dependencies.

Scan Docker base images for known CVEs using Grype to automatically identify security vulnerabilities in your container images and package-manager dependencies like NPM, Maven, and PyPI.

Yes, you need Grype, Docker, Python, and Git installed in your environment to run automated vulnerability scans on container images and software dependencies.

Yes, you can use pre-commit hooks to prevent vulnerable dependencies from being committed by installing pre-commit, adding the Grype configuration, and gating code commits based on vulnerability findings.

Manually scan your repository dependencies for security issues by installing Grype, ensuring it is in your PATH, and executing a directory scan command to detect known CVEs in your project files.

Container vulnerability scanning provides remediation steps by outputting suggested fixes and actionable insights for identified vulnerabilities to help teams maintain a secure baseline.
