Overview
This change completes the container scanning pipeline by delegating vulnerability resolution to the existing SCA engine.
The container engine collects dependencies from container images and forwards them to the SCA engine for vulnerability analysis.
This avoids duplication and maintains a single source of vulnerability resolution logic.
Dependency Collection
The container engine collects dependencies from the reconstructed container filesystem.
Sources include:
These dependencies are merged into a unified dependency list.
Vulnerability Resolution
Collected dependencies are passed directly to the SCA engine.
Example implementation:
This reuses the existing SCA resolution pipeline.
Metadata Adjustment
Container scans override metadata to reflect the correct engine context.
This ensures findings are attributed correctly.
Separation of Concerns
The container engine strictly follows the engine architecture principles:
The engine only produces structured
ScanResultobjects.Result
The container scanning pipeline now performs:
All vulnerability analysis remains centralized in the SCA engine.
