Docker Hub

Integrate Docker Hub with OX to centralize security findings alongside container, pipeline, cloud, and runtime signals already in OX.

OX scans Docker Hub on a schedule and on demand, enriches findings with OX context (application mapping, workflows, and compliance), and presents a unified queue for investigation and reporting.

After you connect, Docker Hub scan results appear in the Active issues page (use the filter Source tool > Docker Hub).

What OX adds

• Context and correlation: OX maps Docker Hub findings to applications, services, and teams to show impact and ownership.

• Prioritization with severity factors: OX may reprioritize scanner severities when exploitability and environment context reduce risk (for example, Critical → High). Severity factors explain why the priority changed.

• Evidence at a glance: When available, OX displays scanner evidence, file locations, and remediation guidance alongside OX analytics to speed triage.

Connection Methods

For general information about connection methods, see Connection methods.

Connect to OX with a Docker Hub username and token.

Prerequisites

OX

• Permission to configure connectors

Docker Hub

• Create a personal access token (PAT).

• IP Whitelisting: Add the OX Security IP address 108.128.213.11 to Docker Hub's whitelist or your firewall rules.

Connect with username and token

Step 1: Create personal access token [Docker]

1. Verify that the prerequisites are in place.

2. Log in to the Docker Hub workspace.

3. Go to Account Settings > Personal access token and select Generate access token.

4. In Create access token, enter:

   • Token name: A name of the token

   • Expiry: Set to None

   • Access permissions: Read-only

     
5. Select Generate. Docker generates a token.

6. Copy and save the user name and token. Save them securely. You cannot view the token again. Best practice: Store the token in a secrets manager and set a reminder to rotate it according to your policy.

Step 2: Connect OX to Docker [OX]

1. Verify that the prerequisites are in place.

2. In OX, go to Connectors > Registry and select Docker Hub.

   
3. In Configure your Docker Hub credentials, select the link HELP CONNECTING DOCKER HUB to open an online summary of the connection process.

4. Enter the following parameters:

Parameter	Details
User Name	The Docker token user name
Password	The Docker token

1. Select CONNECT. OX validates the credentials.

2. In Configure your Docker Hub connector, select the images you want OX to scan.

3. Select SAVE.

4. In Configure your Docker Hub credentials, select VERIFY CONNECTIVITY. A green checkmark indicates a successful connection. If verification fails, check your credentials and permissions.

Optional configurations

• To change the images OX scans and monitors, see the section Change the locations OX scans.

• For information on the OX Broker, see the article OX Broker.

Change the locations OX scans

Once you have a connection, you can change the locations that OX scans and monitors.

1. Use the Gear icon at the bottom of the Configuration screen.

2. OX displays the locations or objects that OX scans and monitors.

3. Change the selection as needed.

4. Select SAVE.
