Klar

Integration of Clair and Docker Registry

Klar is a simple tool to analyze images stored in a private or public Docker registry for security vulnerabilities using Clair https://github.com/coreos/clair. Klar is designed to be used as an integration tool so it relies on enviroment variables. It's a single binary which requires no dependencies.

Binary installation

The simples way is to download the latest relase (for OSX and Linux) from https://github.com/optiopay/klar/releases/ and put the binary in a folder in your PATH, make sure it has execute permission

Installation from source code

Make sure you have Go language compiler installed and configured https://golang.org/doc/install

Then run

go get github.com/optiopay/klar

make sure your Go binary folder is in your PATH (e.g. export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin)

Usage

Klar process returns 0 if number of detected high severity vulnerabilities in an image is less or equals than threshold (see below), otherwise it returns 1.

Klar can be configured via the following environment variables:

• CLAIR_ADDR - address of Clair server, the most complete form is protocol://host:port protocol and port may be omited, http and 6060 are used by default

• CLAIR_OUTPUT - severity level threshold, vulnerabilities with severity level higher than or equal to this threshold will be outputed. Supported levels are Unknown, Negligible, Low, Medium, High, Critical, Defcon1. Default is Unknown.

• CLAIR_THRESHOLD - how many high severity vulnerabilities Klar can tolerate before returning 1. Default is 0.

• DOCKER_USER - Docker registry account name

• DOCKER_PASSWORD - Docker registry account password

• DOCKER_INSECURE - Allow Klar to access registries with bad SSL certificates. Default is false. Clair will need to be booted with -insecure-tls for this to work.

• REGISTRY_INSECURE - Allow Klar to access insecure registries (HTTP only). Default is false.

• JSON_OUTPUT - Output JSON, not plain text. Default is false.

Usage:

CLAIR_ADDR=http://localhost CLAIR_OUTPUT=High CLAIR_THRESHOLD=10 DOCKER_USER=me DOCKER_PASSWORD=secret klar postgres:9.5.1

Dockerized version

Klar can be dockerized. Go to $GOPATH/src/github.com/optiopay/klar and build Klar in project root:

go build .

If you are on Mac don't forget to build it for Linux:

GOOS=linux go build .

To build Docker image run in the project root (replace klar with fully qualified name if you like):

docker build -t klar .

Then create an env file or pass env vars as separate ``--envarguments. For example save it asmy-klar.env`

CLAIR_ADDR=http://localhost
CLAIR_OUTPUT=High
CLAIR_THRESHOLD=10
DOCKER_USER=me
DOCKER_PASSWORD=secret

Then run

docker run --env-file=my-klar-env klar postgres:9.5.1

Amazon ECR support

There is no permanent username/password for Amazon ECR, the credentials must be retrived using aws ecr get-login and they are valid for 12 hours. Here is a sample script which may be used to provide Klar with ECR credentials:

DOCKER_LOGIN=`aws ecr get-login`
PASSWORD=`echo $DOCKER_LOGIN | cut -d' ' -f6`
REGISTRY=`echo $DOCKER_LOGIN | cut -d' ' -f9 | sed "s/https:\/\///"`
DOCKER_USER=AWS DOCKER_PASSWORD=${PASSWORD} ./klar ${REGISTRY}/my-image
