Prbl vs Trivy

Prbl vs Trivy for AI-generated code

Trivy is a fast, popular open-source scanner for container images, dependencies, and infrastructure-as-code. Prbl looks at a different layer entirely: the application code your AI assistant wrote, and the vulnerability classes it produces most.

Where Trivy wins

If you need to scan container images, catch known-vulnerable dependencies, or check Terraform and Kubernetes manifests for misconfigurations, Trivy is excellent and free. It is fast, scriptable, and a sensible default in most CI pipelines for supply-chain and infrastructure risk.

Where Prbl is different

Trivy scans your packaging and infrastructure, not the logic your AI assistant wrote. Prbl reads the application code itself and prioritizes the flaws AI tools ship most: missing authentication on generated routes, hardcoded secrets in scaffolding, fallback secrets in environment lookups, and Broken Object Level Authorization. Those are bugs in code a scanner has to reason about, not a known-CVE lookup.

Run both

They cover different layers, so they stack well. Trivy handles your images, dependencies, and infrastructure; Prbl handles the AI-written application code, repo and live URL. Teams building quickly with AI assistants get the fullest picture running both.
