Scan Result Details

This doc applies only to the Legacy Scanning engine. Make sure you are using the correct documentation: Which Scanning Engine to Use

When you drill down into the Scan Results list, the details menu provides a variety of ways to view vulnerability and policy violation data at a glance.

Policy Summary views
Vulnerabilities summaries
Content summaries

These summaries provide:

An easy-to-parse view of why a specific image failed
Which rules generated the most Warn and Stop actions
Overview of how an image has performed against the various audit policies that have been put in place
Ability to filter for high-severity CVEs, and see which have an available fix

You can also download the Policy Summary to PDF and the Vulnerabilities Summary to a CSV file.

Red Hat Vulnerability Details

For Red Hat vulnerabilities, the details panel provides both the Sysdig severity rating and the equivalent severity label from the Red Hat Security Tracker.

The labels are mapped as follows:

Sysdig Severity	Red Hat Severity	Red Hat Definition
Critical	Critical	This rating is given to flaws that could be easily exploited by a remote unauthenticated attacker and lead to system compromise (arbitrary code execution) without requiring user interaction. Flaws that require authentication, local or physical access to a system, or an unlikely configuration are not classified as Critical impact. These are the types of vulnerabilities that can be exploited by worms.
High	Important	This rating is given to flaws that can easily compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of resources. These are the types of vulnerabilities that allow local or authenticated users to gain additional privileges, allow unauthenticated remote users to view resources that should otherwise be protected by authentication or other controls, allow authenticated remote users to execute arbitrary code, or allow remote users to cause a denial of service.
Medium	Moderate	This rating is given to flaws that may be more difficult to exploit but could still lead to some compromise of the confidentiality, integrity or availability of resources under certain circumstances. These are the types of vulnerabilities that could have had a Critical or Important impact but are less easily exploited based on a technical evaluation of the flaw, and/or affect unlikely configurations.
Low	Low	This rating is given to all other issues that may have a security impact. These are the types of vulnerabilities that are believed to require unlikely circumstances to be able to be exploited, or where a successful exploit would give minimal consequences. This includes flaws that are present in a program’s source code but to which no current or theoretically possible, but unproven, exploitation vectors exist or were found during the technical analysis of the flaw.
Negligible	n/a	n/a

Vulnerability Comparison

The vulnerability comparison allows users to compare two different tags within the same repo to see which vulnerabilities are new or have been fixed in version X compared to version Y.

This allows developers easily to compare the latest image to a previous version to easily report on which vulnerabilities have been addressed and which are new.

Select an image from a line in the Scan Results list.
From the Compare To drop-down, select another version of this image with which to compare.
The comparison report is displayed.
