conventional-changelog VS grype

conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits is a package used for creating conventional commits and has a bit more configuration possibilities with changelogs in contrast to the default Angular commit scheme.

Finally, it is also interesting to be able to automatically generate the CHANGELOG file from the commit messages. There are various tools for this, one of them is Conventional Changelog

Some projects generate change logs automatically from commits. For example, angular uses conventional-changelog.

I'm under the understanding from this issue that in semver, a package that is <1.0.0 is considered unstable. This means that a breaking change can occur at any version, usually between minors.

I dont use myself, but some people follows something like the conventional commit spec, and then uses a generator.

@semantic-release/commit-analyzer It determines the type of our release (e.g. major, minor, patch) by analyzing commits with conventional-changelog. semantic-release uses Angular Commit Message Conventions by default.

Besides pointing pentester tools like metasploit at yourself, there are some nice scanners out there.

Using Grype:

In the lab to follow, we'll see how vulnerability scanning can be conveniently achieved with Grype and how various systematic techniques can be applied to start securing our microservices at the container image level.

Scanning your container images for vulnerabilities is a good approach. But this scanning is not one time job, it should be done regularly (weekly, monthly, etc.) You need to follow vulnerability reports and fix all of the vulnerabilities as soon as possible. I recommend some open-source tools that could be useful: Trivy, Docker-Bench, Grype.

Grype is another popular open source tool from Anchore. Working with SBOM files, Grype scans container images and filesystems for vulnerabilities. Grype supports different output formats for vulnerabilities and custom templates for output.

Grype will allow you to scan a container to see if you have any vulnerable packages.

I have a Docker image that I built with python:3.10-slim. I wanted to start scanning my images so I'm using grype to do it locally with the plan to introduce it to a GitHub Actions workflow. After I ran the scanner, there was one critical issue found: libdb5.3 CVE-2019-8457. I looked it up and it seems to be an issue with sqlite.
