Docker Scout is a new CLI tool replacing the deprecated `docker scan` command, designed to help developers build more secure container images. It scans images layer by layer, identifies known CVEs, and provides remediation recommendations. Available since Docker Desktop 4.17, it offers three interaction modes: CLI commands (`docker scout cves` and `docker scout recommendations`), a Docker Desktop GUI with filterable vulnerability views, and a GitHub Actions integration for automated scanning in CI pipelines. The post also notes limitations of image scanning tools, referencing a KubeCon Europe 2023 talk showing how metadata manipulation can hide vulnerabilities from scanners.
