Release Notes

Version 2.0.2 - 2020-11-11

• Update actions/core to use version 1.2.6 (Issue #71)

Version 2.0.1 - 2020-02-11

Fixes:

• Removes unnecessary constraint in deduplication for SARIF reporting
• Allows defining and referencing the location of the SARIF report file
• Fixes multiple instances where undefined items in the reporting would break scanning

Version 2.0.0 - 2020-30-09

2.0.0 is a new major version of scan action based on the new Grype tool from Anchore. It is much faster for scanning compared to v1.x of the action and adds some new capabilities, including directory scanning as well as container image scanning, and also has more metadata about the vulnerability matches than previous versions for more transparency on the matching process.

Improvements and Changes:

• Significantly faster performance for scans
• New vulnerabilities output format is the JSON output from Grype directly
• Adds support for scanning directories as well as Docker containers, so you can do the same checks pre-and post-build of the container.
• Supports Automatic Code Scanning/SARIF for exposing results via your repository's Security tab.
• Updated the default branch from master to main

NOTE: This is a breaking change from v1.x, as indicated by the major version change. We strongly recommend using a @v2 or specific version instead of @main

Breaking Changes for v2:

• Inputs:
  • Changed image-reference to image (required)
  • dockerfile-path is no longer supported and not necessary for the vulnerability scans
  • custom-policy-path is no longer supported
  • include-app-packages is no longer necessary or supported. Application packages are on by default and will receive vulnerability matches.
• Outputs:
  • billofmaterials is no longer output. V2 is focused on vulnerability scanning and another action may be introduced for BoM support with its own options/config.
  • policycheck is no longer output
