I have written the above code on my GHA.
I am running GHA self-managed.
Earlier Action was running fine, but for the last week, it has kept failing.
EKS Version 1.28

hi @Dr-DevOps could you try the latest release of trivy-action? We've released some fixed that hopefully should address this. cc @DmitriyLewen

Hello @Dr-DevOps
IIUC your action doesn't have bash, right?
IN this case you can install trivy yourself and run trivy-action with skip-setup-trivy input.
See this example - https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy-action?tab=readme-ov-file#setting-up-trivy-manually

    container: 
      image: docker:rc-dind

I am using this as a base docker image to create a docker build and then using it for trivy scan.

Hello @Dr-DevOps

You got same error for aquasecurity/[email protected], right?

You use self-hosted runner. Your runner doesn't have bash.
So i see 2 ways:

• add step to install bash into your runner (or use another runner cintaining bash) before run trivy-action
• install trivy manually and use skip-setup-trivy input (see https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy-action?tab=readme-ov-file#trivy-setup)
