* fix(redact): reset redaction store between command runs cli.Command() may be invoked more than once in the same process (e.g. when syft is embedded as a library). The clio initializer calls internal/redact.Set on every command execution, but the redact store is process-global and Set panics when a store already exists, so the second invocation dies with "replace existing redaction store (probably unintentional)". Add redact.Reset() to clear the previous run's store and call it in the initializer before Set. The double-Set guard in Set is kept: an unexpected second Set within a single run still panics. Add TestAppClioSetupConfigInitializerCanRunMultipleTimes which runs the initializer twice; it panics with the exact reported message on the old code and passes with the fix. Fixes #2285 Signed-off-by: JasonMetal <935216773@qq.com> * fix(redact): release the redact store at the end of each run Clear the global redact store in the post-run hook instead of resetting it before every `Set`. The double-`Set` panic keeps its meaning: a store is only present while a run is in flight, so a second run starting mid-run still panics rather than splitting secrets across two stores and leaking the ones in the dropped store. Sequential runs in the same process work since the previous run releases its store on the way out. A run only releases the store it set, so it never clears a store owned by someone else.

Syft
A CLI tool and Go library for generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) from container images and filesystems. Exceptional for vulnerability detection when used with a scanner like Grype.
Features
- Generates SBOMs for container images, filesystems, archives (see the docs for a full list of supported scan targets)
- Supports dozens of packaging ecosystems (e.g. Alpine (apk), Debian (dpkg), RPM, Go, Python, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Rust, PHP, .NET, and many more)
- Supports OCI, Docker, Singularity, and more image formats
- Works seamlessly with Grype for vulnerability scanning
- Multiple output formats (CycloneDX, SPDX, Syft JSON, and more) including the ability to convert between SBOM formats
- Create signed SBOM attestations using the in-toto specification
Tip
New to Syft? Check out the Getting Started guide for a walkthrough!
Installation
The quickest way to get up and going:
curl -sSfL https://get.anchore.io/syft | sudo sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin
Tip
See Installation docs for more ways to get Syft, including Homebrew, Docker, Scoop, Chocolatey, Nix, and more!
The basics
See the packages within a container image or directory:
# container image
syft alpine:latest
# directory
syft ./my-project
To get an SBOM, specify one or more output formats:
# SBOM to stdout
syft <image> -o cyclonedx-json
# Multiple SBOMs to files
syft <image> -o spdx-json=./spdx.json -o cyclonedx-json=./cdx.json
Local containers-storage images
On Linux, syft can scan images from a local containers-storage store (e.g. built with Buildah or Podman) when asked explicitly; plain image references never look there:
syft --from containers-storage localhost/myimage:latest
# rootless stores must be read from inside the builder's user namespace
podman unshare syft --from containers-storage localhost/myimage:latest
This is included in the Linux release binaries. When building from source, add -tags containers_image_openpgp,exclude_graphdriver_btrfs.
