Description

Hi,

Executing docker scout cves traefik:v3.7.1 --only-vuln-packages reports github.com/docker/cli@29.4.0+incompatible as affected by CVE-2025-15558 (GHSA-p436-gjf2-799p) with an unbounded affected range and no fixed version.

The upstream GitHub advisory gates this CVE to < v29.2.0 and marks it fixed in v29.2.0, so v29.4.0 is past the fix and should not match.

The scout CVE-2025-1558 details page is reporting the same information.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report this issue, but what would be the best way to fix it?

Research direction

Start by reproducing docker scout cves traefik:v3.7.1 --only-vuln-packages and compare the reported CVE-2025-15558 data with the linked GitHub advisory. Trace where Docker Scout obtains the affected range and fixed version, then verify that github.com/docker/cli@29.4.0 is no longer reported while versions below v29.2.0 remain affected.
