scanning-docker-images-with-trivy
Scans a Docker image with Trivy for vulnerabilities in OS packages and language dependencies, misconfiguration, exposed secrets, and licence violations, emitting SARIF, CycloneDX, or SPDX output. Use when scanning or gating a specific image, wiring an image scan into CI/CD, or checking an image during an incident investigation. Keywords: Trivy, image scan, --severity, --exit-code, SARIF, ignore file, .trivyignore. Do not use for cluster-wide scanning or non-image targets - use performing-container-security-scanning-with-trivy; when the toolchain is Grype use scanning-container-images-with-grype.

# Scanning Docker Images with Trivy
## Overview
Trivy is a comprehensive open-source vulnerability scanner by Aqua Security that detects vulnerabilities in OS packages, language-specific dependencies, misconfigurations, secrets, and license violations within container images. It integrates into CI/CD pipelines and supports multiple output formats including SARIF, CycloneDX, and SPDX.
## When to Use
- When conducting security assessments that involve scanning docker images with trivy
- When following incident response procedures for related security events
- When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
- When validating security controls through hands-on testing
