In addition, it supports binaries built with cargo-auditable.

Cargo

Trivy searches for Cargo.lock to detect dependencies.

Trivy also supports dependency trees; however, to display an accurate tree, it needs to know whether each package is a direct dependency of the project. Since this information is not included in Cargo.lock, Trivy parses Cargo.toml, which should be located next to Cargo.lock. If you want to see the dependency tree, please ensure that Cargo.toml is present.

Scan Cargo.lock and Cargo.toml together also removes developer dependencies.

Binaries

Trivy scans binaries built with cargo-auditable. If such a binary exists, Trivy will identify it as being built with cargo-audit and scan it.
