Trivy AI Security Skills for Vulnerability Management
Trivy produces evidence. AI can help turn that evidence into prioritization, owner-specific remediation, and executive summaries, but the raw scanner output should remain the system of record.
Best AI-assisted skills
| Skill | What AI can help with | Human check |
|---|---|---|
| Vulnerability clustering | Group related CVEs by package, image, service, or owner | Confirm fixed versions and affected artifacts |
| Container triage | Summarize high-risk image findings | Validate runtime exposure |
| SBOM review | Identify risky dependency patterns | Confirm package identity and provenance |
| IaC remediation | Draft safer configuration changes | Test against deployment constraints |
| Risk brief | Explain what should be patched first and why | Validate business and exploit context |
Prompt pattern
`Summarize this Trivy JSON output for remediation planning. Group by owner, affected artifact, severity, fixed version, internet exposure, and recommended next step.`
Controls to require
- Pass reduced scanner summaries to AI instead of raw sensitive artifacts when possible.
- Preserve CVE IDs, package versions, image tags, repository paths, and fixed versions.
- Require human approval before automated pull requests or production image rebuilds.
- Track whether AI-assisted triage improves fix time and reduces duplicate tickets.
