About:
Grype is a command-line vulnerability scanner from Anchore that identifies known vulnerabilities within container images and filesystems. It cross-references software components against multiple vulnerability databases, providing detailed reports to prioritize security fixes. Its primary value is enabling developers and DevOps teams to integrate security scanning directly into their CI/CD pipelines and local development workflows.
Key Features:
  • Scans container images and filesystems for known vulnerabilities
  • Supports multiple package ecosystems and image formats
  • Outputs results in various formats (table, JSON, CycloneDX, SARIF)
  • Integrates with CI/CD pipelines for automated scanning
  • Uses continuously updated vulnerability databases
Use Cases:
  • Pre-deployment security scanning of container images in CI/CD
  • Local vulnerability assessment of developer filesystems and dependencies
  • Generating SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) with vulnerability data for compliance
Alternatives:
  • trivy – Also a comprehensive vulnerability scanner; Grype is often noted for deeper vulnerability matching from Anchore's database.
  • clair – A static analysis tool specifically for container images, typically run as a service rather than a CLI tool.
