Using Snyk to test CNAB bundles for vulnerabilities

One of the neat things about the CNAB invocation images is that they are just Docker images. That means tools build to work with Docker images work nicely with CNAB. Snyk is one such tool, which can be used to determine vulnerabilities in Docker images.

With a little jq and xargs we can easily test our CNAB invocation images for a loaded bundle with Duffle like so.

$ duffle bundle show helloworld | jq .invocationImages[].image | xargs -L1 -I'{}' snyk test --docker {}                                                                                1081ms  Tue 12 Nov 20:26:02 2019
