jf docker scan Fails Consistently on Previously Working Images Since 23/10/25

[yitzhaktal]

Describe the bug

Hi,

On 25/10/21, we ran the following command successfully:
jf docker scan ${{ parameters.image }} --licenses --format=simple-json > ${{ parameters.outputFolder }}/${{ parameters.reportFilenamePrefix }}.jfrog.json
It worked without any issues, as it normally does.

However, on 23/10/25, we ran the same command with a different image, and it failed. Initially, we thought the problem was with the new image. But when we reran the exact same command as on 21/10/25 with the original image, it failed as well.

We have reproduced this issue locally multiple times, and it now occurs consistently.
Please find attached the debug logs from the failing runs for your reference.

@yahavi I opened a ticket as requested, as it looks like a bug

I am experiencing a similar issue upon upgrading to 2.81.0.

Adding "--fail=false" flag did not help.

Below is the stack trace:
