# Container Scanning **(ULTIMATE)**
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/merge_requests/3672)
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 10.4.
## Overview
If you are using [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/README.md), you can check your Docker
images (or more precisely the containers) for known vulnerabilities by using
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
[Clair](https://github.com/coreos/clair) and [klar](https://github.com/optiopay/klar),
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
two open source tools for Vulnerability Static Analysis for containers.
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
You can take advantage of Container Scanning by either [including the CI job](#configuration) in
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
your existing `.gitlab-ci.yml` file or by implicitly using
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
[Auto Container Scanning](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md#auto-container-scanning-ultimate)
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
that is provided by [Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md).
GitLab checks the Container Scanning report, compares the found vulnerabilities
between the source and target branches, and shows the information right on the
merge request.
![Container Scanning Widget](img/container_scanning.png)
## Use cases
If you distribute your application with Docker, then there's a great chance
that your image is based on other Docker images that may in turn contain some
known vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
Having an extra job in your pipeline that checks for those vulnerabilities,
and the fact that they are displayed inside a merge request, makes it very easy
to perform audits for your Docker-based apps.
## Requirements
To enable Container Scanning in your pipeline, you need:
- A GitLab Runner with the
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
[`docker`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html) or
[`kubernetes`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/kubernetes.html)
executor.
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
- Docker `18.09.03` or higher installed on the machine where the Runners are
running. If you're using the shared Runners on GitLab.com, this is already
the case.
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
- To [build and push](../../../ci/docker/using_docker_build.md#container-registry-examples)
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
your Docker image to your project's [Container Registry](../../packages/container_registry/index.md).
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
The name of the Docker image should match the following scheme:
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```text
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE/$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG:$CI_COMMIT_SHA
```
The variables above can be found in the
[predefined environment variables](../../../ci/variables/predefined_variables.md)
document.
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
## Configuration
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
For GitLab 11.9 and later, to enable Container Scanning, you must
[include](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#includetemplate) the
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
[`Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml` template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml)
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
that's provided as a part of your GitLab installation.
For GitLab versions earlier than 11.9, you can copy and use the job as defined
in that template.
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
Add the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
```yaml
include:
template: Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml
```
The included template will:
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
1. Create a `container_scanning` job in your CI/CD pipeline.
1. Pull the already built Docker image from your project's
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
[Container Registry](../../packages/container_registry/index.md) (see [requirements](#requirements))
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
and scan it for possible vulnerabilities.
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
The results will be saved as a
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
[Container Scanning report artifact](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#artifactsreportscontainer_scanning-ultimate)
that you can later download and analyze.
Due to implementation limitations, we always take the latest Container Scanning
artifact available. Behind the scenes, the
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
[GitLab Klar analyzer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/klar/)
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
is used and runs the scans.
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
## Example
The following is a sample `.gitlab-ci.yml` that will build your Docker Image, push it to the container registry and run Container Scanning.
```yaml
variables:
DOCKER_DRIVER: overlay2
services:
- docker:stable-dind
stages:
- build
- test
include:
- template: Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml
build:
image: docker:stable
stage: build
variables:
IMAGE: $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE/$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG:$CI_COMMIT_SHA
script:
- docker info
- docker login -u gitlab-ci-token -p $CI_JOB_TOKEN $CI_REGISTRY
- docker build -t $IMAGE .
- docker push $IMAGE
```
## Vulnerability Whitelisting
If you want to whitelist specific vulnerabilities, you'll need to:
1. Set `GIT_STRATEGY: fetch` in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file by following the instructions described in the
[overriding the Container Scanning template](#overriding-the-container-scanning-template) section of this document.
1. Define the whitelisted vulnerabilities in a YAML file named `clair-whitelist.yml` which must use the format described
in the [following whitelist example file](https://github.com/arminc/clair-scanner/blob/v12/example-whitelist.yaml).
2020-01-01 13:55:28 +05:30
1. Add the `clair-whitelist.yml` file to the Git repository of your project
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
### Overriding the Container Scanning template
If you want to override the job definition (for example, change properties like
`variables`), you need to declare a `container_scanning` job after the
template inclusion and specify any additional keys under it. For example:
```yaml
include:
- template: Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml
container_scanning:
variables:
GIT_STRATEGY: fetch
```
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
### Available variables
Container Scanning can be [configured](#overriding-the-container-scanning-template)
using environment variables.
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
| Environment Variable | Description | Default |
| ------ | ------ | ------ |
| `KLAR_TRACE` | Set to true to enable more verbose output from klar. | `"false"` |
| `DOCKER_USER` | Username for accessing a Docker registry requiring authentication. | `$CI_REGISTRY_USER` |
| `DOCKER_PASSWORD` | Password for accessing a Docker registry requiring authentication. | `$CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD` |
| `CLAIR_OUTPUT` | Severity level threshold. Vulnerabilities with severity level higher than or equal to this threshold will be outputted. Supported levels are `Unknown`, `Negligible`, `Low`, `Medium`, `High`, `Critical` and `Defcon1`. | `Unknown` |
| `REGISTRY_INSECURE` | Allow [Klar](https://github.com/optiopay/klar) to access insecure registries (HTTP only). Should only be set to `true` when testing the image locally. | `"false"` |
| `CLAIR_VULNERABILITIES_DB_URL` | This variable is explicitly set in the [services section](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/30522ca8b901223ac8c32b633d8d67f340b159c1/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml#L17-19) of the `Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml` file and defaults to `clair-vulnerabilities-db`. This value represents the address that the [postgres server hosting the vulnerabilities definitions](https://hub.docker.com/r/arminc/clair-db) is running on and **shouldn't be changed** unless you're running the image locally as described in the [Running the scanning tool](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/klar/#running-the-scanning-tool) section of the [GitLab klar analyzer readme](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/klar). | `clair-vulnerabilities-db` |
| `CI_APPLICATION_REPOSITORY` | Docker repository URL for the image to be scanned. | `$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE/$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG` |
| `CI_APPLICATION_TAG` | Docker respository tag for the image to be scanned. | `$CI_COMMIT_SHA` |
| `CLAIR_DB_IMAGE` | The Docker image name and tag for the [postgres server hosting the vulnerabilities definitions](https://hub.docker.com/r/arminc/clair-db). It can be useful to override this value with a specific version, for example, to provide a consistent set of vulnerabilities for integration testing purposes, or to refer to a locally hosted vulnerabilities database for an on-premise air-gapped installation. | `arminc/clair-db:latest` |
| `CLAIR_DB_IMAGE_TAG` | (**DEPRECATED - use `CLAIR_DB_IMAGE` instead**) The Docker image tag for the [postgres server hosting the vulnerabilities definitions](https://hub.docker.com/r/arminc/clair-db). It can be useful to override this value with a specific version, for example, to provide a consistent set of vulnerabilities for integration testing purposes. | `latest` |

## Security Dashboard
The Security Dashboard is a good place to get an overview of all the security
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
vulnerabilities in your groups, projects and pipelines. Read more about the
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
[Security Dashboard](../security_dashboard/index.md).
## Interacting with the vulnerabilities
Once a vulnerability is found, you can interact with it. Read more on how to
[interact with the vulnerabilities](../index.md#interacting-with-the-vulnerabilities).
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
## Vulnerabilities database update
For more information about the vulnerabilities database update, check the
[maintenance table](../index.md#maintenance-and-update-of-the-vulnerabilities-database).
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
## Running Container Scanning in an offline air-gapped installation
Container Scanning can be executed on an offline air-gapped GitLab Ultimate installation using the following process:
1. Host the following Docker images on a [local Docker container registry](../../packages/container_registry/index.md):
- [arminc/clair-db vulnerabilities database](https://hub.docker.com/r/arminc/clair-db)
- [GitLab klar analyzer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/klar)
1. [Override the container scanning template](#overriding-the-container-scanning-template) in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file to refer to the Docker images hosted on your local Docker container registry:
```yaml
include:
- template: Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml
container_scanning:
image: $CI_REGISTRY/namespace/gitlab-klar-analyzer
variables:
CLAIR_DB_IMAGE: $CI_REGISTRY/namespace/clair-vulnerabilities-db
```
It may be worthwhile to set up a [scheduled pipeline](../../project/pipelines/schedules.md) to automatically build a new version of the vulnerabilities database on a preset schedule. You can use the following `.gitlab-yml.ci` as a template:
```yaml
image: docker:stable
services:
- docker:stable-dind
stages:
- build
build_latest_vulnerabilities:
stage: build
script:
- docker pull arminc/clair-db:latest
- docker tag arminc/clair-db:latest $CI_REGISTRY/namespace/clair-vulnerabilities-db
- docker login -u gitlab-ci-token -p $CI_JOB_TOKEN $CI_REGISTRY
- docker push $CI_REGISTRY/namespace/clair-vulnerabilities-db
```
The above template will work for a GitLab Docker registry running on a local installation, however, if you're using a non-GitLab Docker registry, you'll need to change the `$CI_REGISTRY` value and the `docker login` credentials to match the details of your local registry.

## Reports JSON format
CAUTION: **Caution:**
The JSON report artifacts are not a public API of Container Scanning and their format may change in the future.
The Container Scanning tool emits a JSON report file. Here is an example of the report structure with all important parts of
it highlighted:

Here is the description of the report file structure nodes and their meaning. All fields are mandatory to be present in
the report JSON unless stated otherwise. Presence of optional fields depends on the underlying analyzers being used.
| Report JSON node | Description |
|------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `version` | Report syntax version used to generate this JSON. |
| `vulnerabilities` | Array of vulnerability objects. |
| `vulnerabilities[].category` | Where this vulnerability belongs (SAST, Container Scanning etc.). For Container Scanning, it will always be `container_scanning`. |
| `vulnerabilities[].message` | A short text that describes the vulnerability, it may include occurrence's specific information. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].description` | A long text that describes the vulnerability. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].cve` | A fingerprint string value that represents a concrete occurrence of the vulnerability. It's used to determine whether two vulnerability occurrences are same or different. May not be 100% accurate. **This is NOT a [CVE](https://cve.mitre.org/)**. |
| `vulnerabilities[].severity` | How much the vulnerability impacts the software. Possible values: `Undefined` (an analyzer has not provided this info), `Info`, `Unknown`, `Low`, `Medium`, `High`, `Critical`. **Note:** Our current container scanning tool based on [klar](https://github.com/optiopay/klar) only provides the following levels: `Unknown`, `Low`, `Medium`, `High`, `Critical`. |
| `vulnerabilities[].confidence` | How reliable the vulnerability's assessment is. Possible values: `Undefined` (an analyzer has not provided this info), `Ignore`, `Unknown`, `Experimental`, `Low`, `Medium`, `High`, `Confirmed`. **Note:** Our current container scanning tool based on [klar](https://github.com/optiopay/klar) does not provide a confidence level, so this value is currently hardcoded to `Unknown`. |
| `vulnerabilities[].solution` | Explanation of how to fix the vulnerability. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].scanner` | A node that describes the analyzer used to find this vulnerability. |
| `vulnerabilities[].scanner.id` | Id of the scanner as a snake_case string. |

## Troubleshooting
### docker: Error response from daemon: failed to copy xattrs
When the GitLab Runner uses the Docker executor and NFS is used
(e.g., `/var/lib/docker` is on an NFS mount), Container Scanning might fail with
an error like the following:
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```text
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to copy xattrs: failed to set xattr "security.selinux" on /path/to/file: operation not supported.
```
This is a result of a bug in Docker which is now [fixed](https://github.com/containerd/continuity/pull/138 "fs: add WithAllowXAttrErrors CopyOpt").
To prevent the error, ensure the Docker version that the Runner is using is
`18.09.03` or higher. For more information, see
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
[issue #10241](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/10241 "Investigate why Container Scanning is not working with NFS mounts").
