**Tell us about your request**
We would like to be able to whitelist some vulnerabilities when doing an ECR scanning
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
ECR
**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
We have a Docker image in an ECR repository. Scanning the image reports one vulnerability about a library we're using. According to the library documentation, the vulnerability is fixed in the version of the library we're using and it could be a false positive.
We're thinking about several actions to follow. One of them is whitelisting this specific vulnerability, but it's not possible with AWS ECR scanning.
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
We're using another Linux base image, but the new generated image is bigger than the original one, about 3 times bigger.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the ECR image-scanning workflow described in the issue and how it reports CVE findings for Docker images. No repository files or tests are named; done would mean defining and documenting a way to whitelist selected vulnerabilities while retaining scanning for the remaining findings.
