## Vulnerabilities database update
If you use container scanning and want more information about the vulnerabilities database update,
see the [maintenance table](../vulnerabilities/index.md#vulnerability-scanner-maintenance).
All analyzer images are [updated daily](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/container-scanning/-/blob/master/README.md#image-updates).
The images include the latest advisory database available for their respective scanner. Each
scanner includes data from multiple sources:
- [Grype](https://github.com/anchore/grype#grypes-database).
- [Trivy](https://aquasecurity.github.io/trivy/latest/vulnerability/detection/data-source/).
Database update information for other analyzers is available in the
[maintenance table](../vulnerabilities/index.md#vulnerability-scanner-maintenance).

| Secure scanning tool | Vulnerabilities database updates |
|:----------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| [Container Scanning](../container_scanning/index.md) | A job runs on a daily basis to build new images with the latest vulnerability database updates from the upstream scanner. |
| [Container Scanning](../container_scanning/index.md) | A job runs on a daily basis to build new images with the latest vulnerability database updates from the upstream scanner. For more details, see [Vulnerabilities database update](../container_scanning/index.md#vulnerabilities-database-update). |
| [Dependency Scanning](../dependency_scanning/index.md) | Relies on `bundler-audit` (for Ruby gems), `retire.js` (for npm packages), and `gemnasium` (the GitLab tool for all libraries). Both `bundler-audit` and `retire.js` fetch their vulnerabilities data from GitHub repositories, so vulnerabilities added to `ruby-advisory-db` and `retire.js` are immediately available. The tools themselves are updated once per month if there's a new version. The [Gemnasium DB](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/gemnasium-db) is updated on a daily basis using [data from NVD, the `ruby-advisory-db` and the GitHub Security Advisory Database as data sources](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/gemnasium-db/-/blob/master/SOURCES.md). See our [current measurement of time from CVE being issued to our product being updated](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/development/performance-indicators/#cve-issue-to-update). |
| [Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)](../dast/index.md) | The scanning engine is updated on a periodic basis. See the [version of the underlying tool `zaproxy`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/dast/blob/main/Dockerfile#L1). The scanning rules are downloaded at scan runtime. |
| [Static Application Security Testing (SAST)](../sast/index.md) | Relies exclusively on [the tools GitLab wraps](../sast/index.md#supported-languages-and-frameworks). The underlying analyzers are updated at least once per month if a relevant update is available. The vulnerabilities database is updated by the upstream tools. |
