With the growth of usage of Docker containers in the recent year, Vulnerability scanning is essential to scanning and detecting known flaws and vulnerabilities in that specific Docker image. Using a custom docker image with third-party libraries in our code base authenticity or knowing their flaws can cause a lot of trouble in the future. In this case, vulnerability scanning tools such as Clair, Trivy, Anchor Grype, and Snyk are used for detecting the known vulnerability of the used Docker image and its included library but one Docker image can show different results depending on which tools we use due to the different scanning techniques and different vulnerability databases with different information (CVE, NVD, RedHat) that they use. In this research, We will be focusing on building an architectural framework that improves the accuracy, and reliability of the vulnerability scanning tools with a local vulnerability database that we built using a commonly used method such as static analysis which scans by reading package name and version searching, matching known suspicious pattern or signature using a binary database. Another method of scanning is a binary analysis which includes spotting unknown suspicious properties with a predefined algorithm. Using a confusion matrix, we evaluate the vulnerability scanning tool with docker images using the ground truth vulnerabilities stored in our local vulnerability database which is enriched with vulnerability information that is improved each time a new image is scanned.
