About

GitHub Action to run the Docker Scout CLI as part of your workflows.

You can pick one of the following commands to run:

  • quickview: get a quick overview of an image, base image and available recommendations
  • compare: compare an image to a second one (for instance to latest)
  • cves: display vulnerabilities of an image
  • recommendations: display available base image updates and remediation recommendations
  • sbom: generate the SBOM of the image
  • environment: record an image to an environment

Inputs

Command

You can run one or multiple commands in the same GitHub Action run. Use a comma separated list to run several commands.

command required string Single command to run or comma separated list of commands to run in order.
Possible values:
  • quickview
  • compare
  • cves
  • recommendations
  • sbom
  • environment

The commands will be run in the order of the value, and will share the same parameters.

For instance, if you built an image and want to display a quickview as well as to compare it against the latest indexed one, set the action as following:

command: quickview,compare
image: ${{ steps.meta.outputs.tags }}
to-latest: true

Authentication

Login to Docker Hub

To use scout features you need to be authenticated against Docker Hub.

You can use the parameters below to authenticate, or you can use the docker/login-action.

dockerhub-user optional string Docker Hub user id
dockerhub-password optional string Docker Hub password or PAT

Login to a registry to pull private images (non Docker Hub)

registry-user required to pull from other private registry string Registry user id to pull images
registry-password required to pull from other private registry string Registry password or PAT to pull images

Common Inputs

Image

image optional (*) string Prefixed name of the image, directory or archive to operate on
platform optional current platform by default string Platform of the image to analyze (or the current platform)
ref optional default is empty string Reference to use if the provided tarball containers multiple images, only with archives

(*) If image is not set (or empty) the most recently built image, if any, will be used instead.

Prefix

The image field can be prefixed to indicate the type of content to analyse. If no prefix is set, the image:// prefix is used.

Available prefixes:

  • image://: optional prefix, the target is an image that first will be resolved locally then, if not found, will be resolved to the associated registry
  • local://: only resolve the image from the local image store
  • registry://: do not use the local image store, only use the registry
  • oci-dir://: local directory to be read as an OCI directory
  • archive://: image archive generated by docker save command, as a tar file
  • fs://: local directory or file

Organization namespace

Namespace of the Docker Organization is required to match the query with the right data.

When using environments (for instance to compare an image to the one from a defined environment, or when comparing to the latest indexed) organization parameter is required.

organization required to compare to environments/latest indexed
required to manage environments
optional in other cases, default empty
string Namespace of the Docker organization

Step Summary

By default the Markdown output of the command (if supported) will be displayed as a Job Summary. This can be disabled if needed.

summary optional default is true boolean Display output as Job Summary

Pull Request Comments

When triggered by a pull_request event, the output of the scout command can be written as a comment.

This behaviour is enabled by default.

By default one single comment per job step will be kept and updated at each run. If you prefer to keep previous comments but hide them, set the keep-previous-comments parameter to true.

pull-requests: write permission is required to allow the GitHub action to create the comment.

github-token optional default is github.token string GitHub Token to create the comment
write-comment optional default is true boolean Boolean, write a comment with scout output
keep-previous-comments optional default is false boolean If set, keep but hide previous comment. If not set, keep and update one single comment per job

Output

The text version of the command output will be displayed in the logs. The markdown version (if exists) of the command output will be set as an output of the step, using the command name as identifier, and will be displayed as Pull Request comment or Step Summary.

compare Inputs

Compare to an image

to required string Prefixed name of the image, directory or archive to compare with
to-ref optional default is empty string Reference to use if the provided tarball containers multiple images, only with archives

See Prefix above about the available prefixes for the to argument.

Compare to an environment

to-stream deprecated (*) string Name of the stream to compare with
to-latest (*) boolean Compare to latest indexed image

(*) One and only one needs to be defined.

Common Inputs

only-severities optional default is empty (all severities) string Comma separated list of severities (critical, high, medium, low, unspecified) to filter CVEs by
only-package-types optional default is empty (all types) string Comma separated list of package types (like apk, deb, rpm, npm, pypi, golang, etc)
only-fixed optional default is false boolean Filter to fixable CVEs
only-unfixed optional default is false boolean Filter to unfixed CVEs

only-package-types optional default is empty (all types) string Comma separated list of package types (like apk, deb, rpm, npm, pypi, golang, etc)
only-fixed optional default is false boolean Filter to fixable CVEs
only-unfixed optional default is false boolean Filter to unfixed CVEs
ignore-base optional default is false boolean Ignore base image vulnerabilities
sarif-file optional default is empty (no output file) string Write output to a SARIF file for further processing or upload into GitHub code scanning

recommendations Inputs

only-refresh optional default is false boolean Only display base image refresh recommendations
only-update optional default is false boolean Only display base image update recommendations

environment Inputs

The image input must be an image in your local image store or in a registry. You can use prefixes to control whether to use a local or remote image. The following prefixes are supported:

  • image:// (optional)
  • local://
  • registry://
environment required string Name of the environment to record the image

See Environment example

Example usage

Build an image, push and compare

  push:
    tags: [ "*" ]
    branches:
      - 'main'
  pull_request:
    branches: [ "**" ]

  REGISTRY: docker.io
  IMAGE_NAME: ${{ github.repository }}
  SHA: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha || github.event.after }}
  # Use `latest` as the tag to compare to if empty, assuming that it's already pushed
  COMPARE_TAG: latest

All-in-one

For the latest built image, display:

  • the vulnerabilities (ignoring the base image, only displaying vulnerabilities with a fix available)
  • the available recommendations
  • compare it to the latest image indexed for the same repository (only displaying unchanged packages and vulnerabilities that already have a fix)
        - name: Docker Scout
          id: docker-scout
          uses: docker/scout-action@v1
          with:
            command: cves,recommendations,compare
            to-latest: true
            ignore-base: true
            ignore-unchanged: true
            only-fixed: true

Analyze vulnerabilities and upload report to GitHub code scanning

When GitHub code scanning is enabled, the sarif-file input can be used to upload the vulnerabilities to GitHub.

      - name: Analyze for critical and high CVEs
        id: docker-scout-cves
        if: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request_target' }}
        uses: docker/scout-action@v1
