Quick brief

The Trivy Container Vulnerability Scanner skill provides deep integration with Aqua Security Trivy to perform comprehensive container image scanning. It supports scanning Docker images, OCI artifacts, and filesystem paths for known CVEs using the NVD and vendor-specific advisory databases.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Key capabilities include parsing Trivy’s structured JSON and SARIF output formats, filtering vulnerabilities by severity (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW), and generating actionable remediation reports. The skill can gate CI/CD pipelines based on configurable severity thresholds, automatically failing builds that contain unfixed critical vulnerabilities.

Advanced features include SBOM generation in CycloneDX and SPDX formats, license compliance checking against configurable allowlists, and Kubernetes cluster scanning via Trivy’s k8s mode. Results can be exported to DefectDojo, Dependency-Track, or custom dashboards via webhook integration.
