Overview
Vulnerability scanning for Docker local images runs on Snyk engine, providing users with visibility into the security posture of their local Dockerfiles and local images. Users trigger vulnerability scans through the CLI, and use the CLI to view the scan results. The scanning function creates the list of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), and provides recommendations for CVE remediations.
This page contains information about the docker scan
CLI command. For information about automatically scanning Docker images through Docker Hub, see Hub Vulnerability Scanning.
Note
Docker vulnerability scanning for local images is currently a beta release. The commands and flags are subject to change in subsequent releases. {:.important}
Prerequisites
To run vulnerability scanning on your Docker images, you must meet the following requirements:
-
Download and install Docker Desktop Edge version 2.3.6.0 or later.
- Download for Mac{: target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""}
- Download for Windows{: target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""}
-
Sign into Docker Hub{: target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""}.
-
From the Docker Desktop menu, select Sign in/ Create Docker ID. Alternatively, open a terminal and run the command
docker login
. -
(Optional) You can create a Snyk account{: target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""} for scans, or use the additional monthly free scans provided by Snyk with your Docker Hub account.
Check your installation by running docker scan --version
, it should print the current version of docker scan and the Snyk engine version. For example:
$ docker scan --version
Version: v0.3.3
Git commit: 1bab774
Provider: Snyk (1.385.0)
Note:
Docker Scan uses the Snyk binary installed in your environment by default. If this is not available, it uses the Snyk binary embedded in Docker Desktop. The minimum version required for Snyk is
1.385.0
.
Supported options
The high-level docker scan
command scans local images using the image name or the image ID. It supports the following options:
| Option | Description |
|:------------------------------------------------------------------ :------------------------------------------------|
| --accept license
| Accept the license agreement of the third-party scanning provider |
| --dependency-tree
| Display the dependency tree of the image along with scan results |
| -exclude-base
| Exclude the base image during scanning. This option requires the --file option to be set |
| -f
, --file string
| Specify the location of the Dockerfile associated with the image. This option displays a detailed scan result |
| --json
| Display the result of the scan in JSON format|
| --login
| Log into Snyk using an optional token (using the flag --token), or by using a web-based token |
| --reject-license
| Reject the license agreement of the third-party scanning provider |
| --token string
| Use the authentication token to log into the third-party scanning provider |
| --version
| Display the Docker Scan plugin version |
How to Scan images
The docker scan
command allows you to scan existing Docker images using the image name or ID. For example, run the following command to scan the hello-world image:
$ docker scan hello-world
Testing hello-world...
Organization: docker-desktop-test
Package manager: linux
Project name: docker-image|hello-world
Docker image: hello-world
Licenses: enabled
✓ Tested 0 dependencies for known issues, no vulnerable paths found.
Note that we do not currently have vulnerability data for your image.
Getting a detailed scan report
You can get a detailed scan report about a Docker image by providing the Dockerfile used to create the image. The syntax is docker scan --file PATH_TO_DOCKERFILE DOCKER_IMAGE
.
For example, if you apply the option to the docker-scan
test image, it displays the following result:
$ docker scan --file Dockerfile docker-scan:e2e
Testing docker-scan:e2e
...
✗ High severity vulnerability found in perl
Description: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
Info: https://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-DEBIAN10-PERL-570802

Introduced by your base image (golang:1.14.6)
Organization: docker-desktop-test
Package manager: deb
Target file: Dockerfile
Project name: docker-image|99138c65ebc7
Docker image: 99138c65ebc7
Base image: golang:1.14.6
Licenses: enabled

According to our scan, you are currently using the most secure version of the selected base image
Excluding the base image
When using docker scan with the --file
flag, you can also add the --exclude-base
tag. This excludes the base image (specified in the Dockerfile using the FROM
directive) vulnerabilities from your report. For example:
$ docker scan --file Dockerfile --exclude-base docker-scan:e2e
Testing docker-scan:e2e
...

Checking the dependency tree
To view the dependency tree of your image, use the --dependency-tree flag. This displays all the dependencies before the scan result. For example:
$ docker scan --dependency-tree debian:buster

For more free scans that keep your images secure, sign up to Snyk at https://dockr.ly/3ePqVcp.
For more information about the vulnerability data, see Docker Vulnerability Scanning CLI Cheat Sheet{: target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""}.
Provider authentication
If you have an existing Snyk account, you can directly use your Snyk API token{: target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""}:
$ docker scan --login --token SNYK_AUTH_TOKEN
Your account has been authenticated. Snyk is now ready to be used.
If you use the --login
flag without any token, you will be redirected to the Snyk website to login.
Known issues
WSL 2
- The Vulnerability scanning feature doesn’t work with Alpine distributions.
- If you are using Debian and OpenSUSE distributions, the login process only works with the
--token
flag, you won’t be redirected to the Snyk website for authentication.
