updating your base image would change the vulnerability exposure of your image.
```console
$ docker scout quickview postgres:13.1
✓ Pulled

#### CVEs
The `docker scout cves` command gives you a complete view of all the
vulnerabilities in the image. This command supports several flags that lets you
specify more precisely which vulnerabilities you're interested in, for example,
by severity or package type:
```console
$ docker scout cves --format only-packages --only-vuln-packages \
--only-severity critical postgres:13.1
✓ SBOM of image already cached, 187 packages indexed
