Syft output feeds into both the SBOM feature and the vulnerability scanning pipeline.
## Grype -- Vulnerability Scanning
## OSV.dev + NVD -- Vulnerability Matching
[Grype](https://github.com/anchore/grype) is an open-source vulnerability scanner that matches your dependencies against known vulnerability databases. It takes Syft's SBOM output and cross-references it against:
Certifai matches every SBOM component directly against two public vulnerability sources (no separate scanner binary):
- National Vulnerability Database (NVD)
- GitHub Advisory Database
- OS-specific advisory databases
- [OSV.dev](https://osv.dev/) -- batch queried by package URL (purl) for ecosystem advisories (npm, PyPI, crates.io, Go, Maven, ...)
- [NVD](https://nvd.nist.gov/) -- queried per CVE for the CVSS v3.1 base score, and by CPE for CODESYS runtime versions found in PLC projects
Grype produces SBOM-type findings with CVE identifiers, severity ratings, and links to advisories.
Matches are stored as CVE alerts with CVSS scores and re-checked hourly, so newly published CVEs against an unchanged dependency still raise a notification.

::: tip
The AI triage is a starting point, not a final verdict. Always review the rationale and code evidence before acting on a finding. See [Understanding Findings](/guide/findings#human-in-the-loop) for more on the human-in-the-loop workflow.

## Planned integrations (decided 2026-08-31, not yet in the code)
The product spec keeps an **OSS-only** tooling policy and a control-mapping rule of *tools detect, the LLM judges*. Two deterministic detectors are therefore being added **underneath** the agentic DAST/pentest layer — the agents stay on top for context-seeded exploitation, chaining and explanation:
| Tool | Role | Status |
|------|------|--------|
| [Nuclei](https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei) | Template-driven checks (CVE probes, default credentials, exposed panels, misconfigurations) including ICS/OT templates for WebVisu / OpenPLC / HMI endpoints. Runs as a DAST phase and as a Werkbank job with vendored templates so it works on-prem. | Planned — tracked as an issue |
| [OWASP ZAP](https://www.zaproxy.org/) | Baseline (passive) and, behind the destructive-tests flag, active scan for reproducible spider + rule coverage; results seed the pentest agent. | Planned — follows Nuclei |
Both feed the same `control-map` lookup table as Semgrep, so their findings receive compliance `control_refs` through the grounded judge. An **offline vulnerability database** (Trivy preferred, Grype as alternative) is planned for the on-prem Werkbank runner, which cannot reach the OSV.dev / NVD APIs. Until these land, DAST findings come exclusively from the in-house agents described above.
