CycloneDX

Trivy generates JSON reports in the CycloneDX format. Note that XML format is not supported at the moment.

You can use the regular subcommands (like image, fs and rootfs) and specify cyclonedx with the --format option.

$ trivy image --format cyclonedx --output result.json alpine:3.15

Result

$ cat result.json | jq .
