Hi, I'm running ACS 4.9.2 and roxctl 4.9.2
I've noticed differences in behaviour related to the .fixableCves when roxctl scanning various images:
For images with no fixable CVEs, the generated JSON may or may not include "fixableCves": 0
export SCAN_IMAGE="registry.access.redhat.com/ubi10/ubi-minimal:10.1"
roxctl image scan -f --retries=3 --retry-delay=3 --endpoint https://localhost:8443 --image $SCAN_IMAGE --insecure-skip-tls-verify | jq '. | .fixableCves'
null
export SCAN_IMAGE="alpine:3.23"
roxctl image scan -f --retries=3 --retry-delay=3 --endpoint https://localhost:8443 --image $SCAN_IMAGE --insecure-skip-tls-verify | jq '. | .fixableCves'
0
If I look at what fields are present:
export SCAN_IMAGE="registry.access.redhat.com/ubi10/ubi-minimal:10.1"
roxctl image scan -f --retries=3 --retry-delay=3 --endpoint https://localhost:8443 --image $SCAN_IMAGE --insecure-skip-tls-verify | tail -10
}
],
"fetched": "2026-04-23T09:49:58.795410347Z"
},
"components": 97,
"cves": 70,
"lastUpdated": "2026-04-23T09:49:58.846701686Z",
"riskScore": 6.8999996,
"topCvss": 8.1
}
export SCAN_IMAGE="alpine:3.23"
roxctl image scan -f --retries=3 --retry-delay=3 --endpoint https://localhost:8443 --image $SCAN_IMAGE --insecure-skip-tls-verify | tail -10
"components": 16,
"cves": 0,
"fixableCves": 0,
"lastUpdated": "2026-04-23T09:50:17.312875104Z",
"riskScore": 1.3,
"notes": [
"MISSING_SIGNATURE",
"MISSING_SIGNATURE_VERIFICATION_DATA"
]
}
If I try including the --output json flag, it appears the fixableCves key has been dropped?
Using alpine:3.23 there are no CVEs, and so no componentFixedVersion nor fixableCves summary:
export SCAN_IMAGE="alpine:3.23"
roxctl image scan -f --retries=3 --retry-delay=3 --endpoint https://localhost:8443 --image $SCAN_IMAGE --insecure-skip-tls-verify --output json | grep -i fix
Using registry.access.redhat.com/ubi10/ubi-minimal:10.1 there are CVEs, but none are fixable, so componentFixedVersion are present, but there is no fixableCves summary:
export SCAN_IMAGE="registry.access.redhat.com/ubi10/ubi-minimal:10.1"
roxctl image scan -f --retries=3 --retry-delay=3 --endpoint https://localhost:8443 --image $SCAN_IMAGE --insecure-skip-tls-verify --output json | grep -i fix
"componentFixedVersion": ""

Confirmation of output if fixable CVEs are present in the image (using alpine:3.19):
export SCAN_IMAGE="alpine:3.19"
roxctl image scan -f --retries=3 --retry-delay=3 --endpoint https://localhost:8443 --image $SCAN_IMAGE --insecure-skip-tls-verify --output json | grep -i fix
"componentFixedVersion": "1.36.1-r21"
"componentFixedVersion": "1.36.1-r21"
"componentFixedVersion": "1.36.1-r21"
"componentFixedVersion": "1.36.1-r21"
"componentFixedVersion": "1.2.4_git20230717-r6"
"componentFixedVersion": "1.2.4_git20230717-r6"
"componentFixedVersion": "1.2.4_git20230717-r6"
"componentFixedVersion": "1.2.4_git20230717-r6"
"componentFixedVersion": "1.36.1-r21"
"componentFixedVersion": "1.36.1-r21"
I guess I therefore have three questions:
- Without the
--output flag, what is the default output style?
- Without the
--output flag, why is fixableCves sometimes not present if there are no fixable CVEs, vs other times it's set as 0?
- Why when using
--output json do I no longer get a total number of fixable CVEs included in the JSON (as this is useful for scripts to use in pipeline logging)?
Thanks in advance.
