Research direction

Start by reproducing docker scout cves --format sarif with a report containing the affected CVE, then inspect runs.tool.driver.rules.help.markdown in the generated SARIF. Compare the output with v1.18.4 and v1.19.0; done means the summary is emitted as a valid Markdown table again.

Description

Hello 👋

The markdown syntax in the Sarif reports produced by docker scout cves --format sarif has broken since v1.19.0.

The summary table at the end of the CVE description (found in the report at runs.tool.driver.rules.help.markdown) is no longer a valid markdown table.

Example of table in report generated by v1.18.4:
