David Karlsson ec72262eed scout: remove module for cli docs, vendor manually
Upstream docs had a formatting issue that needed a hotfix.
Rather than fixing the vendored yaml,
which would be overwritten the next time update (any) vendored modules,
I decided to manually copy the cli reference yaml to the data dir.

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.

### 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
