Trivy Security Scanning

Trivy is a security scanning tool which we use to scan our images for vulnerabilities.

Scanning Images Locally

Scan a single image

You can run a trivy scan identical to CI on your own command line by installing Trivy and running

trivy image --severity HIGH,CRITICAL quay.io/solo-io/<IMAGE>:<VERSION>

Scan a single version

You can scan all Gloo Edge images for a specific version by running

VERSION=<VERSION> make scan-version

Generating Scan Result Documentation Locally

Scan open source images

Using our scanner, we can run scans against groups of images. To filter which version to scan, we use:

VERSION_CONSTRAINT=">v1.8.0, <v1.9.0" go run generate_docs.go run-security-scan -r gloo

Scanning enterprise images

If you want to run the enterprise security scanning locally, make sure to have your GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable set and run the command with -r set to the enterprise repository:

VERSION_CONSTRAINT=">v1.8.0, <v1.9.0" go run generate_docs.go run-security-scan -r glooe

Outputs

The outputs of a trivy scan are the following: _output/scans/gloo/markdown_results - a folder which has scans for each image of each version of gloo that was scanned. The scan results are in markdown format and are uploaded to a google cloud bucket, which we later pull from during docs generation (which happens on merges to main), to generate a human-readable markdown security scans document, which we display in our docs.
