+### VEX
+
+Trivy can filter findings with [VEX](https://trivy.dev/docs/latest/supply-chain/vex/)
+(Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange) documents. Set `TRIVY_VEX` to one or
+more space-separated sources; each is passed to `trivy image --vex`:
+
+```dotenv
+# VEX Hub / repository lookup
+TRIVY_VEX=repo
+
+# VEX attestations attached to the image in an OCI registry
+TRIVY_VEX=oci
+
+# Local OpenVEX or CycloneDX VEX documents (mount them into the container)
+TRIVY_VEX=/vex/app.json /vex/base.json
+
+# Several methods; the first source has the highest priority
+TRIVY_VEX="/vex/app.json repo"
+```
+
+For local files with Compose, mount the directory read-only:
+
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  - ./vex:/vex:ro
+environment:
+  TRIVY_VEX: /vex/app.json

+
+Findings suppressed by VEX are removed from the Trivy JSON report and are
+therefore not counted, notified, or considered by `FAIL_ON`. The report still
+reflects the filtered result.
