For example, use registry://dhi.io/python instead of > dhi.io/python.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n   $ docker scout attest get \\\n     --predicate-type https://scout.docker.com/virus/v0.1 \\\n     --predicate \\\n     dhi.io/python:3.13\n```\n\nThe output is a JSON object containing the scanner used and the base64-encoded scan report\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```json\n   {\n     \"scanner\": {\n       \"report\": \"<base64-encoded ClamAV report>\",\n       \"uri\": \"clamav/clamav:stable\"\n     }\n   }\n```\n\nDecoding the report shows the full ClamAV output, ending with a scan summary\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```text\n   ----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------\n   Known viruses: 3627833\n   Engine version: 1.5.2\n   Scanned directories: 4\n   Scanned files: 21\n   Infected files: 0\n   Data scanned: 44.90 MiB\n   Data read: 23.88 MiB (ratio 1.88:1)\n   Time: 11.473 sec (0 m 11 s)\n   Start Date: 2026:04:12 02:36:19\n   End Date:   2026:04:12 02:36:30\n```\n\nVerify the attestation signature. To ensure the attestation is authentic and signed by Docker, run\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n   $ docker scout attest get \\\n     --predicate-type https://scout.docker.com/virus/v0.1 \\\n     --verify \\\n     dhi.io/<image>:<tag> --platform <platform>\n```\n\nIf the attestation is valid, Docker Scout confirms the signature and shows the matching cosign verify command.\n\nTo view other attestations, such as SBOMs or test results, see Verify an image.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
