Run the following commands to set up the VEX repository\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n$ trivy vex repo init\n$ cat << REPO > ~/.trivy/vex/repository.yaml\nrepositories:\n  - name: default\n    url: https://github.com/aquasecurity/vexhub\n    enabled: true\n    username: \"\"\n    password: \"\"\n    token: \"\"\n  - name: dhi-vex\n    url: https://github.com/docker-hardened-images/advisories\n    enabled: true\nREPO\n$ trivy vex repo list\n$ trivy vex repo download\n```\n\nAfter setting up VEX Hub, you can scan a Docker Hardened Image with VEX filtering\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n$ docker login dhi.io\n$ docker pull dhi.io/<image>:<tag>\n$ trivy image --scanners vuln --vex repo dhi.io/<image>:<tag>\n```\n\nFor example, scanning the dhi.io/python:3.13 image\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n$ trivy image --scanners vuln --vex repo dhi.io/python:3.13\n```\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```plaintext\nReport Summary\n\n┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬────────────┬─────────────────┐\n│                                   Target                                    │    Type    │ Vulnerabilities │\n├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼────────────┼─────────────────┤\n│ dhi.io/python:3.13 (debian 13.2)                                            │   debian   │        0        │\n├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼────────────┼─────────────────┤\n│ opt/python-3.13.11/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pip-25.3.dist-info/METADATA │ python-pkg │        0        │\n└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴────────────┴─────────────────┘\nLegend:\n- '-': Not scanned\n- '0': Clean (no security findings detected)\n```\n\nThe --vex repo flag applies VEX statements from the configured repository during the scan, which filters out known non-exploitable CVEs.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
