Grype, developed by Anchore, is an open source vulnerability scanner that inspects container images, SBOMs, and filesystems for known CVEs. It supports multiple ecosystems, including Debian, Alpine, Red Hat, Python, Ruby, Go, and Java. Grype integrates with Syft for SBOM generation and provides precise, reproducible results with minimal configuration. Developers use it in CI pipelines, GitOps workflows, and security audits to enforce secure build practices and maintain supply chain visibility. Its speed, accuracy, and integration-first design make it a popular choice in DevSecOps environments.
