Description
According to Python packaging standards,
.dist-info
directories contain only metadata files such as version, license, and entry points. These directories are typically placed alongside installed packages insite-packages
.Since Trivy's secret scanner does not need to scan these metadata files, doing so can lead to false positives. Therefore, we can safely exclude
.dist-info
directories using a built-in allow rule.Reference:
