Docker Scout does not honor Chainguard's advisory data/secdb

As the owner of its own distro, Chainguard maintains advisory data that captures the results of investigations into potential vulnerabilities. This includes cases where Chainguard determines a vulnerability to be a false positive.

Chainguard publishes guidance for vulnerability scanner integration here. Scanners are expected to honor Chainguard's advisory data, including these "false positive" designations, so that the vulnerability report output from supported scanners is as accurate as possible.

Even though the Docker docs show that both the Wolfi (open source) and Chainguard (commercial) advisory feeds are used by Docker Scout, it appears that Docker Scout does not correctly implement support for our false positive data in all cases. According to this output, when Docker Scout finds matches to language ecosystem (e.g. NPM) packages, Docker Scout doesn't correctly suppress the result when these matches are noted in Chainguard's secdb as false positives.

This means Docker Scout fails to meet an expectation defined in Chainguard's Vulnerability Scanner Support docs, specifically on this page, item 4a.

Please let us know when integration with the Wolfi and Chainguard secdb data is planned.
