A Simple and Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanner for Containers and other Artifacts, Suitable for CI.

Table of Contents

Abstract

Trivy (tri pronounced like trigger, vy pronounced like envy) is a simple and comprehensive vulnerability scanner for containers and other artifacts. A software vulnerability is a glitch, flaw, or weakness present in the software or in an Operating System. Trivy detects vulnerabilities of OS packages (Alpine, RHEL, CentOS, etc.) and application dependencies (Bundler, Composer, npm, yarn, etc.). Trivy is easy to use. Just install the binary and you're ready to scan. All you need to do for scanning is to specify a target such as an image name of the container.

It is considered to be used in CI. Before pushing to a container registry or deploying your application, you can scan your local container image and other artifacts easily. See here for details.

Features

  • Detect comprehensive vulnerabilities
    • OS packages (Alpine, Red Hat Universal Base Image, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Oracle Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, openSUSE Leap, SUSE Enterprise Linux, Photon OS and Distroless)
    • Application dependencies (Bundler, Composer, Pipenv, Poetry, npm, yarn, Cargo and NuGet)
  • Simple
  • Fast
    • The first scan will finish within 10 seconds (depending on your network). Consequent scans will finish in single seconds.
    • Unlike other scanners that take long to fetch vulnerability information (~10 minutes) on the first run, and encourage you to maintain a durable vulnerability database, Trivy is stateless and requires no maintenance or preparation.
  • Easy installation
    • apt-get install, yum install and brew install is possible (See Installation)
    • No pre-requisites such as installation of DB, libraries, etc.
  • High accuracy
    • Especially Alpine Linux and RHEL/CentOS
    • Other OSes are also high
  • DevSecOps
    • Suitable for CI such as Travis CI, CircleCI, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.
    • See CI Example
  • Support multiple formats
    • container image
      • A local image in Docker Engine which is running as a daemon
      • A remote image in Docker Registry such as Docker Hub, ECR, GCR and ACR
      • A tar archive stored in the docker save formatted file
      • An image directory compliant with OCI Image Format
    • local filesystem
    • remote git repository

Please see LICENSE for Trivy licensing information. Note that Trivy uses vulnerability information from a variety of sources, some of which are licensed for non-commercial use only.

yay -Sy trivy-bin

Homebrew

You can use homebrew on macOS and Linux.

$ brew install aquasecurity/trivy/trivy

Nix/NixOS

You can use nix on Linux or macOS and on others unofficially.

Note that trivy is currently only in the unstable channels.

$ nix-env --install trivy

Or through your configuration on NixOS or with home-manager as usual

Install Script

This script downloads Trivy binary based on your OS and architecture.

$ curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquasecurity/trivy/main/contrib/install.sh | sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin

Binary

Get the latest version from this page, and download the archive file for your operating system/architecture. Unpack the archive, and put the binary somewhere in your $PATH (on UNIX-y systems, /usr/local/bin or the like). Make sure it has execution bits turned on.

From source

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/aquasecurity
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/aquasecurity
$ git clone https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy
$ cd trivy/cmd/trivy/
$ export GO111MODULE=on
$ go install

Quick Start

Image

Simply specify an image name (and a tag). The latest tag should be avoided as problems occur with the image cache. See Clear caches.

Basic

$ trivy image [YOUR_IMAGE_NAME]

For example:

$ trivy image python:3.4-alpine

+---------+------------------+----------+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+

Docker

Docker Hub

Replace [YOUR_CACHE_DIR] with the cache directory on your machine.

$ docker run --rm -v [YOUR_CACHE_DIR]:/root/.cache/ aquasec/trivy [YOUR_IMAGE_NAME]

Example for macOS:

$ docker run --rm -v $HOME/Library/Caches:/root/.cache/ aquasec/trivy python:3.4-alpine

If you would like to scan the image on your host machine, you need to mount docker.sock.

$ docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -v $HOME/Library/Caches:/root/.cache/ aquasec/trivy python:3.4-alpine

Please re-pull latest aquasec/trivy if an error occurred.

+---------+------------------+----------+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+

GitHub Container Registry

The same image is hosted on GitHub Container Registry as well.
https://github.com/orgs/aquasecurity/packages/container/package/trivy

$ docker pull ghcr.io/aquasecurity/trivy:latest

Filesystem

Scan a filesystem (such as a host machine, a virtual machine image, or an unpacked container image filesystem).

Trivy will look for vulnerabilities based on lock files such as Gemfile.lock and package-lock.json.

$ trivy fs /path/to/project

Scan your container from inside the container.

$ docker run --rm -it alpine:3.11
/ # curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquasecurity/trivy/main/contrib/install.sh | sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin
/ # trivy fs /

Embed in Dockerfile

Scan your image as part of the build process by embedding Trivy in the Dockerfile. This approach can be used to update Dockerfiles currently using Aqua’s Microscanner.

$ cat Dockerfile
FROM alpine:3.7

RUN apk add curl \
    && curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquasecurity/trivy/main/contrib/install.sh | sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin \
    && trivy filesystem --exit-code 1 --no-progress /

$ docker build -t vulnerable-image .

Git Repository

Scan your remote git repository

$ trivy repo https://github.com/knqyf263/trivy-ci-test

Only public repositories are supported.

Examples

Standalone

Scan an image

Simply specify an image name (and a tag).

Filter the vulnerabilities by Open Policy Agent policy

[EXPERIMENTAL] This feature might change without preserving backwards compatibility.

Trivy supports Open Policy Agent (OPA) to filter vulnerabilities. You can specify a Rego file with --ignore-policy option.

The Rego package name must be trivy and it must include a rule called ignore which determines if each individual vulnerability should be excluded (ignore=true) or not (ignore=false). In the policy, each vulnerability will be available for inspection as the input variable. The structure of each vulnerability input is the same as for the Trivy JSON output.
There is a built-in Rego library with helper functions that you can import into your policy using: import data.lib.trivy. For more info about the helper functions, look at the library here

To get started, see the example policy.

Skip traversal of the specific files

Trivy traversals directories and looks for all lock files by default. If your image contains lock files which are not maintained by you, you can skip the file.

$ trivy image --skip-files "/Gemfile.lock,/app/Pipfile.lock" quay.io/fluentd_elasticsearch/fluentd:v2.9.0

Skip traversal in the specific directory

Trivy traversals directories and look for all lock files by default. If your image contains lock files which are not maintained by you, you can skip traversal in the specific directory.

$ trivy image --skip-dirs "/usr/lib/ruby/gems,/etc" fluent/fluentd:edge

Skip update of vulnerability DB

Trivy always updates its vulnerability database when it starts operating. This is usually fast, as it is a difference update. But if you want to skip even that, use the --skip-update option.

$ trivy image --skip-update python:3.4-alpine3.9

Only download vulnerability database

You can also ask Trivy to simply retrieve the vulnerability database. This is useful to initialize workers in Continuous Integration systems.

$ trivy image --download-db-only

Ignore unfixed vulnerabilities

By default, Trivy also detects unpatched/unfixed vulnerabilities. This means you can't fix these vulnerabilities even if you update all packages. If you would like to ignore them, use the --ignore-unfixed option.

Specify exit code

By default, Trivy exits with code 0 even when vulnerabilities are detected. Use the --exit-code option if you want to exit with a non-zero exit code.

This option is useful for CI/CD. In the following example, the test will fail only when a critical vulnerability is found.

$ trivy image --exit-code 0 --severity MEDIUM,HIGH ruby:2.4.0
$ trivy image --exit-code 1 --severity CRITICAL ruby:2.4.0

Ignore the specified vulnerabilities

Use .trivyignore.

$ cat .trivyignore

Specify cache directory

$ trivy --cache-dir /tmp/trivy/ image python:3.4-alpine3.9

Specify cache backend

[EXPERIMENTAL] This feature might change without preserving backwards compatibility.

Trivy supports local filesystem and Redis as the cache backend. This option is useful especially for client/server mode.

Two options:

  • fs
    • the cache path can be specified by --cache-dir
  • redis://
    • redis://[HOST]:[PORT]
$ trivy server --cache-backend redis://localhost:6379

Clear caches

The --clear-cache option removes caches. This option is useful if the image which has the same tag is updated (such as when using latest tag).

The scan is not performed.

$ trivy image --clear-cache

2019-11-15T15:13:26.209+0200    INFO    Removing image caches...

Reset

The --reset option removes all caches and database. After this, it takes a long time as the vulnerability database needs to be rebuilt locally.

$ trivy image --reset
Result
2019-05-16T13:05:31.935+0900    INFO    Resetting...

Use lightweight DB

The lightweight DB doesn't contain vulnerability detail such as descriptions and references. Because of that, the size of the DB is smaller and the download is faster.

This option is useful when you don't need vulnerability details and is suitable for CI/CD. To find the additional information, you can search vulnerability details on the NVD website. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search

$ trivy image --light alpine:3.10

--light option doesn't display titles like the following example.

Client / Server

Trivy has client/server mode. Trivy server has vulnerability database and Trivy client doesn't have to download vulnerability database. It is useful if you want to scan images at multiple locations and do not want to download the database at every location.

Server

At first, you need to launch Trivy server. It downloads vulnerability database automatically and continue to fetch the latest DB in the background.

$ trivy server --listen localhost:8080
2019-12-12T15:17:06.551+0200    INFO    Need to update DB
2019-12-12T15:17:56.706+0200    INFO    Reopening DB...
2019-12-12T15:17:56.707+0200    INFO    Listening localhost:8080...

If you want to accept a connection from outside, you have to specify 0.0.0.0 or your ip address, not localhost.

$ trivy server --listen 0.0.0.0:8080

Client

Then, specify the remote address.

$ trivy client --remote http://localhost:8080 alpine:3.10
Result
alpine:3.10 (alpine 3.10.2)

Authentication

$ trivy server --listen localhost:8080 --token dummy
$ trivy client --remote http://localhost:8080 --token dummy alpine:3.10

Deprecated options

--only-update, --refresh and --auto-refresh are deprecated since they are unnecessary now. These options will be removed at the next version

Continuous Integration (CI)

Scan your image automatically as part of your CI workflow, failing the workflow if a vulnerability is found. When you don't want to fail the test, specify --exit-code 0.

Since in automated scenarios such as CI/CD you are only interested in the end result, and not the full report, use the --light flag to optimize for this scenario and get fast results.

AWS CodePipeline

See this blog post for an example of using Trivy within AWS CodePipeline.

AWS Security Hub

See here

Authorization for Private Docker Registry

Trivy can download images from a private registry, without installing Docker or any other 3rd party tools. That's because it's easy to run in a CI process.

All you have to do is install Trivy and set ENV vars. But, I can't recommend using ENV vars in your local machine to you.

Docker Hub

Docker Hub needs TRIVY_USERNAME and TRIVY_PASSWORD. You don't need to set ENV vars when download from public repository.

export TRIVY_USERNAME={DOCKERHUB_USERNAME}
export TRIVY_PASSWORD={DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD}

Amazon ECR (Elastic Container Registry)

Trivy uses AWS SDK. You don't need to install aws CLI tool. You can use AWS CLI's ENV Vars.

GCR (Google Container Registry)

Trivy uses Google Cloud SDK. You don't need to install gcloud command.

If you want to use target project's repository, you can settle via GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIAL.

# must set TRIVY_USERNAME empty char
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/credential.json

Self Hosted Registry (BasicAuth)

BasicAuth server needs TRIVY_USERNAME and TRIVY_PASSWORD.

export TRIVY_USERNAME={USERNAME}
export TRIVY_PASSWORD={PASSWORD}

# if you want to use 80 port, use NonSSL
export TRIVY_NON_SSL=true

Vulnerability Detection

OS Packages

The unfixed/unfixable vulnerabilities mean that the patch has not yet been provided on their distribution. Trivy doesn't support self-compiled packages/binaries, but official packages provided by vendors such as Red Hat and Debian.

OS Supported Versions Target Packages Detection of unfixed vulnerabilities

Trivy automatically detects the following files in the container and scans vulnerabilities in the application dependencies.

  • Ruby
    • Gemfile.lock
  • Python
    • Pipfile.lock
    • poetry.lock
  • PHP
    • composer.lock
  • Node.js
    • package-lock.json
    • yarn.lock
  • Rust
    • Cargo.lock
  • .NET
    • packages.lock.json

The path of these files does not matter.

vs Clair

Clair uses alpine-secdb. However, the purpose of this database is to make it possible to know what packages has backported fixes. As README says, it is not a complete database of all security issues in Alpine.

Trivy collects vulnerability information in Alpine Linux from Alpine Linux aports repository. Then, those vulnerabilities will be saved on vuln-list.

alpine-secdb has 6959 vulnerabilities (as of 2019/05/12). vuln-list has 11101 vulnerabilities related to Alpine Linux (as of 2019/05/12). There is a difference in detection accuracy because the number of vulnerabilities is nearly doubled.

In addition, Trivy analyzes the middle layers as well to find out which version of the library was used for static linking.

Clair can not handle the following cases because it analyzes the image after applying all layers.

RUN apk add --no-cache sqlite-dev \
 && wget https://xxx/yyy.tar.gz \
 && tar zxvf yyy.tar.gz && cd yyy \
 && make && make install \
 && apk del sqlite-dev

And as many people know, it is difficult to select a Clair client because many clients are deprecated.

Trivy is a stand-alone tool and can scan very fast. This means it's very easy to use in CI/CD.

Finally, Trivy can also detect vulnerabilities in application dependent libraries such as Bundler, Composer, Pipenv, etc.

vs Anchore Engine

Similar to Clair, there is a difference in detection accuracy on Alpine Linux. Then, as noted above, Anchore Engine does not detect unfixable vulnerabilities on RHEL/CentOS, whereas Trivy does.

Also, Anchore Engine needs some steps to start scanning. Trivy is much easier to use.

vs Quay, Docker Hub, GCR

As Quay uses Clair internally, it has the same accuracy as Clair. Docker Hub can scan only official images. GCR hardly detects vulnerabilities on Alpine Linux. Also, it is locked to a specific registry.

Trivy can be used regardless of the registry, and it is easily integrated with CI/CD services.

Migration

On 19 August 2019, Trivy's repositories moved from knqyf263/trivy to aquasecurity/trivy. If you previously installed Trivy you should update any scripts or package manager records as described in this section.

Overview

If you have a script that installs Trivy (for example into your CI pipelines) you should update it to obtain it from the new location by replacing knqyf263/trivy with aquasecurity/trivy.

For example:

# Before
$ wget https://github.com/knqyf263/trivy/releases/download/v${VERSION}/trivy_${VERSION}_Linux-64bit.tar.gz

# After
$ wget https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy/releases/download/v${VERSION}/trivy_${VERSION}_Linux-64bit.tar.gz

CentOS/RedHat

Use https://aquasecurity.github.io instead of https://knqyf263.github.io.

$ yum remove trivy
$ sed -i s/knqyf263/aquasecurity/g /etc/yum.repos.d/trivy.repo
$ yum update
$ yum install trivy

Debian/Ubuntu

Use https://aquasecurity.github.io instead of https://knqyf263.github.io.

$ apt-get remove --purge trivy
$ sed -i s/knqyf263/aquasecurity/g /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trivy.list
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install trivy

Homebrew

Tap aquasecurity/trivy

$ brew uninstall --force trivy
$ brew untap knqyf263/trivy
$ brew install aquasecurity/trivy/trivy

Binary

No need to fix.

TRIVY_INSECURE can be used to allow insecure connections to a container registry when using SSL.

$ TRIVY_INSECURE=true trivy image [YOUR_IMAGE]

Running in parallel takes same time as series run

When running trivy on multiple images simultaneously, it will take same time as running trivy in series.
This is because of a limitation of boltdb.

Bolt obtains a file lock on the data file so multiple processes cannot open the same database at the same time. Opening an already open Bolt database will cause it to hang until the other process closes it. Reference : boltdb: Opening a database.
