SBOM
Generating
Trivy can generate the following SBOM formats.
CLI commands
To generate SBOM, you can use the --format
option for each subcommand such as image
, fs
and vm
.
$ trivy image --format spdx-json --output result.json alpine:3.15
$ trivy fs --format cyclonedx --output result.json /app/myproject

Supported packages
Trivy supports the following packages.
In addition to the above packages, Trivy also supports the following packages for generating SBOM.
Note
These packages are not supported for vulnerability scanning.
Language | File | Dependency location1 |
---|---|---|
Python | conda package2 | - |
Swift | Podfile.lock | - |
Formats
CycloneDX
Trivy can generate SBOM 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.
CycloneDX can represent either or both SBOM or BOV.
By default, --format cyclonedx
represents SBOM and doesn't include vulnerabilities in the CycloneDX output.
$ trivy image --format cyclonedx --output result.json alpine:3.15
2022-07-19T07:47:27.624Z INFO "--format cyclonedx" disables security scanning. Specify "--scanners vuln" explicitly if you want to include vulnerabilities in the CycloneDX report.
Result
$ cat result.json | jq .

If you want to include vulnerabilities, you can enable vulnerability scanning via --scanners vuln
.
$ trivy image --scanners vuln --format cyclonedx --output result.json alpine:3.15
SPDX
Trivy can generate SBOM in the SPDX format.
You can use the regular subcommands (like image
, fs
and rootfs
) and specify spdx
with the --format
option.
$ trivy image --format spdx --output result.spdx alpine:3.15

Scanning
Trivy can take SBOM documents as input for scanning. See here for more details.
Also, Trivy searches for SBOM files in container images.
$ trivy image bitnami/elasticsearch:8.7.1
For example, Bitnami images contain SBOM files in /opt/bitnami
directory.
Trivy automatically detects the SBOM files and uses them for scanning.
It is enabled in the following targets.
Target | Enabled |
---|---|
Container Image | ✓ |
Filesystem | |
Rootfs | ✓ |
Git Repository | |
VM Image | ✓ |
Kubernetes | |
