Executed + Trivy Vulnerability Scanner Collector

✓ Guardrail ↓ Collector Stable Security And Compliance

Enforce Executed using data collected by Trivy Vulnerability Scanner Collector. Automatically check security and compliance standards on every PR.

Guardrail: Verifies that SCA scanning was executed on the component. Fails if no scanner has written to .sca.

Data Source: Automatically scans repository dependencies for known CVEs using Trivy. Supports Go, Node.js, Python, Java, Rust, and many other ecosystems. Writes normalized vulnerability data to .sca for use with the SCA policy. No secrets or vendor accounts required.

How Trivy Vulnerability Scanner Collector Powers This Guardrail

The Trivy Vulnerability Scanner Collector gathers metadata from your security systems. This data flows into Lunar's Component JSON, where the Executed guardrail evaluates it against your standards.

When enabled, this check runs automatically on every PR and in AI coding workflows, providing real-time enforcement with actionable feedback.

What Trivy Vulnerability Scanner Collector Collects

This collector gathers the following data that the Executed guardrail evaluates.

Collector code

`auto`

Auto-scans the repository filesystem for dependency vulnerabilities using Trivy. Writes normalized findings to .sca with severity counts, CVE IDs, affected packages, and fix versions.

Collector ci-after-command

`cicd`

Detects Trivy executions in CI pipelines. Captures the command, version, and input arguments for audit and compliance tracking. Routes results by scan type: an image scan (trivy image <ref>) is normalized to .container_scan, while a filesystem scan (trivy fs) stays in .sca — so a container scan already running in your pipeline is collected automatically with no extra configuration.

Collector cron

`rescan`

Re-runs the dependency (SCA) scan on a schedule and overwrites .sca so the SCA policy re-evaluates against CVEs published since the commit was first scanned — closing the gap where a branch passes at scan time but a dependency picks up a new CVE later. Runs the same scan as the auto collector (the sibling auto.sh) in the Trivy collector image.

Opt-in scan history: with scan_history_size > 0 the re-scan first snapshots the current .sca (counts + summary + source, including the scan timestamp) into a bounded .sca.history[] array before overwriting .sca, preserving point-in-time scan results for audit. The SCA policy keeps reading the current .sca and behaves identically whether history is on or off. Default 0 keeps today's overwrite-only behavior — no history, no schema change for existing consumers.

Collector cron

`container-rescan`

Re-scans the most recently shipped container image on a schedule. Resolves the image from what the component actually pushed — the most recent docker push (or --push build) in the docker collector's recorded commands (.containers.native.docker.cicd.cmds[]), read via lunar component get-json. That's already-persisted data, so no collector dependency is required. Pulls the image, scans it with Trivy, and overwrites .container_scan so a shipped image is re-evaluated against CVEs published after it was built. Override with the container_image input. No code clone needed.

Configuration Options

Trivy Vulnerability Scanner Collector Inputs

Input	Required	Default	Description
`scan_history_size`	Optional	`0`	Maximum number of prior SCA scans to retain in .sca.history[] on each cron re-scan. Snapshots are ordered oldest-first and the current scan stays in the main .sca fields, so the SCA policy is unaffected. Each entry carries its own source (integration + collected_at), so the release-time scan is identifiable as the integration="code" entry — that's .sca.history[0] when history is enabled from the component's first scan (the intended setup for release-time audit). Enabling it later on a component that has already been re-scanned captures the current .sca as the oldest entry, since the release-time scan was already overwritten. 0 (default) disables history entirely — .sca is overwritten each run exactly as today and no .sca.history is written, so existing consumers see no change. When the cap is reached the oldest entry (index 0) is preserved and the second-oldest is dropped. Only the rescan (cron) sub-collector maintains history; the on-push auto scan ignores this.
`max_rescans`	Optional	`0`	Stop re-scanning a component after this many scheduled re-scans; 0 (default) means unlimited. Counted independently via .sca.rescan_count (a monotonic tally of completed re-scans), so it stands alone and does not depend on scan_history_size — scan_history_size bounds how many scans you KEEP, max_rescans bounds how many you RUN. Once the limit is reached the cron skips the component, keeping the last scan and its history.
`container_image`	Required	—	Override the image reference the container-rescan cron scans. By default the cron derives the image from the component's most recent .containers.builds[] entry (populated by the docker collector). Set this to pin a specific image, e.g. "ghcr.io/acme/app:latest".

SCA Guardrails Inputs

Input	Required	Default	Description
`min_severity`	Optional	`high`	Minimum severity to fail on (critical, high, medium, low)
`max_total_threshold`	Required	—	Maximum total findings allowed (must be configured)
`alert_url`	Required	—	Optional webhook URL. When set, a failing max-severity check also POSTs a JSON payload describing the findings at or above min_severity. Leave empty to disable alerting (default).
`alert_timeout_sec`	Optional	`2`	Webhook POST timeout in seconds. Best-effort — a slow or dead endpoint never changes the check result.
