command: docker scout cves
short: Display CVEs identified in a software artifact
long: |-
    The `docker scout cves` command analyzes a software artifact for vulnerabilities.

    If no image is specified, the most recently built image is used.

    The following artifact types are supported:

    - Images
    - OCI layout directories
    - Tarball archives, as created by `docker save`
    - Local directory or file

    By default, the tool expects an image reference, such as:

    - `redis`
    - `curlimages/curl:7.87.0`
    - `mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime:7.0`

    If the artifact you want to analyze is an OCI directory, a tarball archive, a local file or directory,
    or if you want to control from where the image will be resolved, you must prefix the reference with one of the following:

    - `image://` (default) use a local image, or fall back to a registry lookup
    - `local://` use an image from the local image store (don't do a registry lookup)
    - `registry://` use an image from a registry (don't use a local image)
    - `oci-dir://` use an OCI layout directory
    - `archive://` use a tarball archive, as created by `docker save`
    - `fs://` use a local directory or file
    - `sbom://` SPDX file or in-toto attestation file with SPDX predicate or `syft` json SBOM file
        In case of `sbom://` prefix, if the file is not defined then it will try to read it from the standard input.

    $ docker scout cves fs://.
    ```

    ### Export vulnerabilities to a SARIF JSON file

    ```console
    $ docker scout cves --format sarif --output alpine.sarif.json alpine
    Analyzing image alpine
    ✓ SBOM of image already cached, 18 packages indexed
    ✓ No vulnerable package detected
    ✓ Report written to alpine.sarif.json
    ```

    ### Display markdown output

    The following example shows how to generate the vulnerability report as markdown.

    ```console
    $ docker scout cves --format markdown alpine
    ✓ Pulled
    ✓ SBOM of image already cached, 19 packages indexed
    ✗ Detected 1 vulnerable package with 3 vulnerabilities
    <h2>:mag: Vulnerabilities of <code>alpine</code></h2>

    </details>
    ...
    ```

    ### List all vulnerable packages of a certain type

    The following example shows how to generate a list of packages, only including
    packages of the specified type, and only showing packages that are vulnerable.

    ```console
    $ docker scout cves --format only-packages --only-package-type golang --only-vuln-packages golang:1.18.0
    ✓ Pulled
    ✓ SBOM of image already cached, 296 packages indexed
    ✗ Detected 1 vulnerable package with 40 vulnerabilities

    Name   Version   Type         Vulnerabilities
    ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    stdlib  1.18     golang     2C    29H     8M     1L
    ```

    ### Display EPSS score (--epss) {#epss}

    The `--epss` flag adds [Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS)](https://www.first.org/epss/)
    scores to the `docker scout cves` output. EPSS scores are estimates of the likelihood (probability)
    that a software vulnerability will be exploited in the wild in the next 30 days.
    The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

    ```console {hl_lines="13,14"}
    $ docker scout cves --epss nginx
     ✓ Provenance obtained from attestation
     ✓ SBOM obtained from attestation, 232 packages indexed
     ✓ Pulled
     ✗ Detected 23 vulnerable packages with a total of 39 vulnerabilities

    ...

     ✗ HIGH CVE-2023-52425
       https://scout.docker.com/v/CVE-2023-52425
       Affected range  : >=2.5.0-1
       Fixed version   : not fixed
       EPSS Score      : 0.000510
       EPSS Percentile : 0.173680
    ```

    - `EPSS Score` is a floating point number between 0 and 1 representing the probability of exploitation in the wild in the next 30 days (following score publication).
    - `EPSS Percentile` is the percentile of the current score, the proportion of all scored vulnerabilities with the same or a lower EPSS score.

    You can use the `--epss-score` and `--epss-percentile` flags to filter the output
    of `docker scout cves` based on these scores. For example,
    to only show vulnerabilities with an EPSS score higher than 0.5:

    ```console
    $ docker scout cves --epss --epss-score 0.5 nginx
     ✓ SBOM of image already cached, 232 packages indexed
     ✓ EPSS scores for 2024-03-01 already cached
     ✗ Detected 1 vulnerable package with 1 vulnerability

    ...

     ✗ LOW CVE-2023-44487
       https://scout.docker.com/v/CVE-2023-44487
       Affected range  : >=1.22.1-9
       Fixed version   : not fixed
       EPSS Score      : 0.705850
       EPSS Percentile : 0.979410
    ```

    EPSS scores are updated on a daily basis.
    By default, the latest available score is displayed.
    You can use the `--epss-date` flag to manually specify a date
    in the format `yyyy-mm-dd` for fetching EPSS scores.

    ```console
    $ docker scout cves --epss --epss-date 2024-01-02 nginx
    ```

    ### List vulnerabilities from an SPDX file

    The following example shows how to generate a list of vulnerabilities from an SPDX file using `syft`.

    ```console
    $ syft -o spdx-json alpine:3.16.1 | docker scout cves sbom://
     ✔ Pulled image
     ✔ Loaded image                                                                                                                              alpine:3.16.1
     ✔ Parsed image                                                                    sha256:3d81c46cd8756ddb6db9ec36fa06a6fb71c287fb265232ba516739dc67a5f07d
