aactl

aactl

Google Container Analysis (AA) service data import utility, supports OSS vulnerability scanner reports, SLSA provenance, and sigstore attestations.

Installation instruction with support for Go, Homebrew, RHEL/CentOS, Debian/Ubuntu, and Binary are available here.

Usage

aactl supports imports of two data types: vulnerability and attestation.

In addition to CLI, aactl can also be used in your CI/CD pipeline as a Google Cloud Build builder (example) or GitHub Actions action (examples).

Vulnerability

To import vulnerabilities output by either grype, snyk, trivy scanners, start by exporting the report in JSON format:

• grype

  grype --add-cpes-if-none -s AllLayers -o json --file report.json $image

• snyk

  snyk container test --app-vulns --json-file-output=report.json $image

• trivy

  trivy image --format json --output report.json $image

Once you have the vulnerability file, importing that file into AA using aactl:

aactl vulnerability --project $project \
                    --source $image \
                    --file report.json

The $image variable in the above example is the fully qualified URI of the image including its digest (e.g. us-docker.pkg.dev/project/repo/image@sha256:397d453...).

To review the imported vulnerabilities in GCP:

gcloud artifacts docker images list $repo \
  --show-occurrences \
  --format json \
  --occurrence-filter "kind=\"VULNERABILITY\" AND resource_url=\"https://$image\""

You can also navigate to Artifact Registry to view the vulnerabilities there.

Attestation

In addition to vulnerabilities, aactl can also import sigstore attestations:

aactl attestation --project $project --source $image

The $image variable in the above example is the fully qualified URI of the image including its digest (e.g. us-docker.pkg.dev/project/repo/image@sha256:397d453...).

The imported data can be accessed using gcloud:

gcloud artifacts docker images describe $image --show-provenance --format json

The resulting JSON will look something like this:

The data can also be viewed in Software Delivery Shield side panel:

SLSA level is currently not parsed properly, WIP.
