vimp

vimp

Import CLI for OSS vulnerability scanner output. Generalizes vulnerability reports from common OSS scanners into a generic format and imports them into a target database. Useful for comparing data across multiple scanners.

usage

Given a container image digest:

export image="docker.io/redis@sha256:7b83a0167532d4320a87246a815a134e19e31504d85e8e55f0bb5bb9edf70448"

Generate vulnerability report using one of the supported OSS scanners:

• grype grype --add-cpes-if-none -s AllLayers -o json --file report.json $image
• snyk snyk container test --app-vulns --json-file-output=report.json $image
• trivy trivy image --format json --output report.json $image

Then, import that vulnerability data into one of the supported data stores:

vimp --source $image --file report.json --target bq://project:dataset.table

Note, target table will be created if it does not exist.

The resulting schema in the target DB will look something like this (adjusted for DB-specific data types):

image       TEXT      NOT NULL
digest      TEXT      NOT NULL
source      TEXT      NOT NULL
processed   TIMESTAMP NOT NULL
cve         TEXT      NOT NULL
package     TEXT      NOT NULL
version     TEXT      NOT NULL
severity    TEXT      NOT NULL
score       FLOAT     NOT NULL
fixed       BOOL      NOT NULL
