Root works with Wiz out of the box. Use wizcli docker scan to compare the vulnerability posture of any upstream image against its Root-patched equivalent.

Prerequisites

Scanning Root images

Pass any cr.root.io image reference directly to wizcli docker scan:

Before and after Root

The example below scans node:25.0.0 from Docker Hub alongside its Root equivalent. Upstream (Docker Hub):
Wiz scan results for node:25.0.0 from Docker Hub
Root (cr.root.io):
Wiz scan results for cr.root.io/node:25.0.0
Root patches OS-level vulnerabilities directly into the image layers. Library and CPE findings are the same in both scans — those come from your application dependencies, not the base OS.

CI/CD

Add a scan step to your pipeline to gate on policy failures: GitHub Actions:
GitLab CI:
For policy enforcement, failure thresholds, and output formats, see the Wiz CI/CD integration docs.
