Best open-source container vulnerability scanners (2026)

These tools check container images, filesystems and software bills of materials (SBOMs) for known security issues. When choosing one, look at what it can scan, such as images, dependencies or live hosts, and which vulnerability data it relies on. Grype is a command-line scanner that covers container images, filesystems and SBOMs. osv-scanner checks project dependencies and container images against the OSV vulnerability database and is listed as a replacement for Snyk and Dependabot. cdxgen focuses on generating CycloneDX and SPDX SBOMs from source code, container images and live hosts.
