Getting a Container Image's Report Details

View details about potential OS vulnerabilities that were detected on a specific image in Container Registry.

Oracle uses common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) numbers to identify security vulnerabilities for operating systems and other software, including critical patch updates and security alert advisories. CVE numbers are unique, common identifiers for publicly known information about security vulnerabilities. View Qualys IDs (QIDs) in the Vulnerability Scanning service user interface.

The results of a container image scan include the specific vulnerabilities in the CVE database that were detected in the image.

Each image in Container Registry is identified by the following information.

  • Image tag- A string used to refer to a particular image in a repository. For example, 4.6.3, version2.0.test
  • Image path- The fully qualified path to the image, including the repository name and image tag. For example, us-phoenix-1.ocir.io/mytenancy/myrepo:version2.0.test

  • To view the results of container image scans, use the following steps:

    1. On the Scanning reports list page, select the scan that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the scan, see Listing Container Image Scans.
    2. The details page opens and displays information about the container image scan.

      The following details are shown for each issue detected in this image:

      • Issue ID
      • Risk level
      • Issue description
      • Last detected
      • First detected
      • Cause and remediation
    3. Select Issue ID to view more details about a specific vulnerability.

    You can also use vulnerabilities reports to browse all vulnerabilities that the Vulnerability Scanning service detected.

  • Use the oci vulnerability-scanning container scan result get command and required parameters to retrieve a container scan result identified by the container scan ID:

    oci vulnerability-scanning container scan result get [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.

  • Run the GetContainerScanResult operation to retrieve a container scan result identified by the container scan ID:
