Vulnetix Container Scan Skill

Use when

• Pre-build: scan a Dockerfile for misconfigurations and base-image CVEs.
• PR review: detect EOL base images, missing USER, root processes, exposed secrets.
• --image registry/img:tag: scan a built image for installed-package CVEs via Trivy/Grype if available.
• Compose with Syft to produce a container SBOM (CycloneDX JSON).
• Hardening checklist: USER directive present, healthcheck defined, pinned versions, layer minimisation.

Don't use for

• Source-code SAST — use /vulnetix:sast-scan.
• Cloud-config (Terraform / k8s manifests) — use /vulnetix:iac-scan.
• Vulnetix CLI itself does not pull images; for --image you need binaries.docker or binaries.podman.

Conventions

This skill follows _lib/contract.md: the Vulnetix CLI is auto-installed by hooks, .vulnetix/capabilities.yaml is always present, every vulnetix vdb call is piped through a verified jq filter from _lib/jq/, independent calls run in parallel as concurrent Bash tool calls, and trailing follow-ups are limited to one line. See the contract for output style, memory write rules, and cooldowns.

Step 1: Load capabilities

Read .vulnetix/capabilities.yaml. Note: binaries.{docker,podman,trivy,grype,syft}, repo.{dockerfile,containerfile,compose,docker_compose}. If no container artifacts found AND no --image argument, abort with a one-liner.

Step 2: Run Vulnetix container analysis

vulnetix containers --paths "$DOCKERFILE_PATHS" -o json > .vulnetix/containers.${TIMESTAMP}.json

Or:

vulnetix scan --enable-containers --paths "$DOCKERFILE_PATHS" -o json

Captures: base-image risk, EOL bases, exposed secrets, missing USER, root processes, missing healthchecks, vulnerable system packages.
