## 1.6.1

{{< release-date date="2024-03-20" >}}

> **Note**
>
> This release only affects the `docker/scout-action` GitHub Action.

### New

- Add support for passing in SBOM files in SDPX or in-toto SDPX format

  ```yaml
  uses: docker/scout-action@v1
  with:
      command: cves
      image: sbom://alpine.spdx.json
  ```

- Add support for SBOM files in `syft-json` format

  ```yaml
  uses: docker/scout-action@v1
  with:
      command: cves
      image: sbom://alpine.syft.json
  ```

## 1.6.0

{{< release-date date="2024-03-19" >}}

> **Note**
>
> This release only affects the CLI plugin, not the GitHub Action

### New

- Add support for passing in SBOM files in SDPX or in-toto SDPX format

  ```console
  $ docker scout cves sbom://path/to/sbom.spdx.json
  ```

- Add support for SBOM files in `syft-json` format

  ```console
  $ docker scout cves sbom://path/to/sbom.syft.json
  ```

- Reads SBOM files from standard input

  ```console
  $ syft -o json alpine | docker scout cves sbom://
  ```

- Prioritize CVEs by EPSS score

  - `--epss` to display and prioritise the CVEs
  - `--epss-score` and `--epss-percentile` to filter by score and percentile
  - Prune cached EPSS files with `docker scout cache prune --epss`

### Bug fixes and enhancements

- Use Windows cache from WSL2
  
  When inside WSL2 with Docker Desktop running, the Docker Scout CLI plugin now
  uses the cache from Windows. That way, if an image has been indexed for
  instance by Docker Desktop there's no need anymore to re-index it on WSL2
  side.
- Indexing is now blocked in the CLI if it has been disabled using
  [Settings Management](../../desktop/hardened-desktop/settings-management/configure.md) feature.

- Fix a panic that would occur when analyzing a single-image `oci-dir` input
- Improve local attestation support with the containerd image store
