The tool parses container artifacts and identifies packages across images that match known vulnerabilities. This process targets specific software components, allowing security issues to be located without monitoring traffic or modifying components. Other methods such as intercepting filesystem calls or modifying software versions do not align with how it identifies known security issues.
