Could you please help me to resolved this issue?

I think you have all the details in the error log.

unsupported MediaType: \"application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v1+prettyjws\", see https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry/issues/377

Starboard integrates with Trivy static vulnerability scanner, which does not support (ancient) manifest application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v1+prettyjws. Trivy relies on https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry/ module and the error log also points out to the GitHub issue, where you can find the whole discussion about v1+prettyjws manifest on google/go-containerregistry#377

Just to confirm, the same behaviour is reproducible with Trivy run directly so there's nothing we can do about it in Starboard plugin for Trivy:
