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. For more information, see the

CAUTION: **Deprecation:**
Beginning with GitLab 12.9, container scanning no longer reports `undefined` severity and confidence levels.
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.
| `version` | Report syntax version used to generate this JSON. |
| `vulnerabilities` | Array of vulnerability objects. |
| `vulnerabilities[].id` | Unique identifier of the vulnerability. |
| `vulnerabilities[].category` | Where this vulnerability belongs (for example, SAST or Container Scanning). 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` | (**DEPRECATED - use `vulnerabilities[].id` instead**) 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: `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: `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. |
| `vulnerabilities[].scanner.name` | Name of the scanner, for display purposes. |
| `vulnerabilities[].location` | A node that tells where the vulnerability is located. |
| `vulnerabilities[].location.dependency` | A node that describes the dependency of a project where the vulnerability is located. |
| `vulnerabilities[].location.dependency.package` | A node that provides the information on the package where the vulnerability is located. |
| `vulnerabilities[].location.dependency.package.name` | Name of the package where the vulnerability is located. |
| `vulnerabilities[].location.dependency.version` | Version of the vulnerable package. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].location.operating_system` | The operating system that contains the vulnerable package. |
| `vulnerabilities[].location.image` | The Docker image that was analyzed. |
| `vulnerabilities[].identifiers` | An ordered array of references that identify a vulnerability on internal or external DBs. |
| `vulnerabilities[].identifiers[].type` | Type of the identifier. Possible values: common identifier types (among `cve`, `cwe`, `osvdb`, and `usn`). |
| `vulnerabilities[].identifiers[].name` | Name of the identifier for display purpose. |
| `vulnerabilities[].identifiers[].value` | Value of the identifier for matching purpose. |
| `vulnerabilities[].identifiers[].url` | URL to identifier's documentation. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].links` | An array of references to external documentation pieces or articles that describe the vulnerability further. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].links[].name` | Name of the vulnerability details link. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].links[].url` | URL of the vulnerability details document. Optional. |
| `remediations` | An array of objects containing information on cured vulnerabilities along with patch diffs to apply. Empty if no remediations provided by an underlying analyzer. |
| `remediations[].fixes` | An array of strings that represent references to vulnerabilities fixed by this particular remediation. |
| `remediations[].fixes[].id` | The ID of a fixed vulnerability. |
| `remediations[].fixes[].cve` | (**DEPRECATED - use `remediations[].fixes[].id` instead**) A string value that describes a fixed vulnerability in the same format as `vulnerabilities[].cve`. |
| `remediations[].summary` | Overview of how the vulnerabilities have been fixed. |
