Chapter 6. About Clair

Clair uses Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) data from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) to enrich vulnerability data, which is a United States government repository of security-related information, including known vulnerabilities and security issues in various software components and systems. Using scores from the NVD provides Clair the following benefits:

  • Data synchronization. Clair can periodically synchronize its vulnerability database with the NVD. This ensures that it has the latest vulnerability data.
  • Matching and enrichment. Clair compares the metadata and identifiers of vulnerabilities it discovers in container images with the data from the NVD. This process involves matching the unique identifiers, such as Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) IDs, to the entries in the NVD. When a match is found, Clair can enrich its vulnerability information with additional details from NVD, such as severity scores, descriptions, and references.
  • Severity Scores. The NVD assigns severity scores to vulnerabilities, such as the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score, to indicate the potential impact and risk associated with each vulnerability. By incorporating NVD’s severity scores, Clair can provide more context on the seriousness of the vulnerabilities it detects.

If Clair finds vulnerabilities from NVD, a detailed and standardized assessment of the severity and potential impact of vulnerabilities detected within container images is reported to users on the UI. CVSS enrichment data provides Clair the following benefits:

  • Vulnerability prioritization. By utilizing CVSS scores, users can prioritize vulnerabilities based on their severity, helping them address the most critical issues first.
  • Assess Risk. CVSS scores can help Clair users understand the potential risk a vulnerability poses to their containerized applications.
  • Communicate Severity. CVSS scores provide Clair users a standardized way to communicate the severity of vulnerabilities across teams and organizations.
  • Inform Remediation Strategies. CVSS enrichment data can guide Quay.io users in developing appropriate remediation strategies.
  • Compliance and Reporting. Integrating CVSS data into reports generated by Clair can help organizations demonstrate their commitment to addressing security vulnerabilities and complying with industry standards and regulations.

Documentation for installing and configuring Clair can be found in Vulnerability reporting with Clair on Red Hat Quay.
