trivy github actions vulnerability scan

Secure Trivy GitHub Actions Vulnerability Scan

Generate a safer Trivy GitHub Actions vulnerability scan workflow with SARIF output, minimum permissions, and release gate evidence.

Search intent answer

Users want to integrate Trivy into GitHub Actions without hand-editing a brittle workflow.

Trivy Space turns scan settings into a workflow plan and stores the evidence needed to explain a pass or fail decision.

When this matters

  • A repo needs image scanning before release.
  • Security events must upload to the GitHub Security tab.
  • The team wants minimum token permissions and predictable checkout behavior.

How the workflow works

  1. Select image, filesystem, repo, SBOM, or config scan mode.
  2. Generate workflow snippets with severity gates and SARIF upload.
  3. Attach the Trivy Space receipt to the pull request or release record.

Common risks

  • Over-broad workflow permissions increase blast radius.
  • Version tags can be moved, so teams need pinning and provenance review.
  • Private registry access fails when login and pull steps are missing.
