Fix Trivy Failed to Download Vulnerability DB

Diagnose Trivy vulnerability DB, Java DB, mirror, cache, rate-limit, and air-gap errors before they block CI/CD releases.

Search intent answer

Users have a broken Trivy run and need a concrete fix.

The DB Error Doctor in Trivy Space converts noisy scan logs into a fix path and a reviewer-friendly incident record.

When this matters

  • CI logs show vulnerability DB download failures.
  • Air-gapped builds cannot fetch the Java DB.
  • A cache or mirror setting changed and scans became unreliable.

How the workflow works

  1. Paste the failing log into the Trivy Space analyzer.
  2. Detect DB, Java DB, mirror, authentication, rate-limit, and cache patterns.
  3. Generate the next command sequence and preserve the incident as a release receipt.

Common risks

  • Skipping DB updates can hide new vulnerabilities.
  • Blind retries waste CI minutes and mask a real mirror issue.
  • Offline environments need preloaded DB files and clear update windows.
