Trivy supply chain compromise: What Docker Hub users should know

On March 19, 2026, threat actors compromised Aqua Security's CI/CD pipeline and used stolen credentials to push backdoored versions of the aquasec/trivy vulnerability scanner to Docker Hub.

This post summarizes what happened, what Docker did in response, and what you should do if you use Trivy.
