sbomqs: Quality metrics for SBOMs

Go Reference Go Report Card OpenSSF Scorecard GitHub all releases

sbomqs is your primary tool to assess an SBOM's quality and compliance. The higher the score the more consumable & compliant your SBOMs are.

brew tap interlynk-io/interlynk
brew install sbomqs

Other installation options.

SBOM Platform - Free Tier

Our SBOM Automation Platform has a new free tier that provides a comprehensive solution to manage SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) effortlessly. From centralized SBOM storage, built-in SBOM editor, continuous vulnerability mapping and assessment, and support for organizational policies, all while ensuring compliance and enhancing software supply chain security using integrated SBOM quality scores. The free tier is ideal for small teams. Sign up

Usage

Quality Score for a single SBOM

sbomqs score <sbom-file>

Compliance Report: BSI TR-03183-2

sbomqs compliance -c samples/photon.spdx.json

Compliance Report: Framing Software Component Transparency (v3)

sbomqs compliance -f samples/photon.spdx.json --color

Quality Score with a shareable link at sbombenchmark.dev

sbomqs share <sbom-file>

Example:

sbomqs share cdxgen-9.5.1_alpine-latest.cdx.json
5.9 cdxgen-9.5.1_alpine-latest.cdx.json

Quality Score for your dependency track projects

sbomqs dtrackScore  -u <dt-host-url> -k <dt-api-key> <project-uuid>

What is a high quality SBOM

A high quality SBOM should aptly support managing software assets, license information and Intellectual Property as well as provide a base for configuration management, vulnerability handling and incident response.

A quality SBOM is one that is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. There are many factors that go into constructing a high quality SBOM.

  1. Identify & list all components of your product along with their transitive dependencies.
  2. List all your components along with their versions & content checksums.
  3. Include accurate component licenses.
  4. Include accurate lookup identifiers e.g. purls or CPEs.
  5. Quality SBOM depends a lot upon which stage of the lifecycle it has been generated at, we believe closer to the build time is ideal.
  6. Signed SBOMs.
  7. Should layout information based on industry standard specs like CycloneDX, SPDX and SWID.

Goals

The main goals of the utility are:

  1. Make it easy and fast to assess the quality if an SBOM, generated or acquired.
  2. Support all well-known SBOM standards.
  3. Scoring output should be customizable.
  4. Scoring output should be consumable.

Goal #1: Easy & Fast

SBOMs can be generated using both commercial and open-source tooling. As consumers of SBOMs we wanted a fast and easy way to assess the quality of an SBOM. An SBOM with a low score should be re-evaluated or rejected.

sbomqs makes getting a quick assessment effortless. Just point.

sbomqs score samples/julia.spdx.tv -b
6.9     samples/julia.spdx.json

Goal #2: SBOM Standards

The NTIA recommends these standards for SBOMs:

  • SPDX
  • CycloneDX
  • SWID

sbomqs supports SPDX and CycloneDX formats. Support for SWID is incoming.

In addition to supporting these SBOM formats, we support various formats for data representation.

  • SPDX: json, yaml, rdf and tag-value
  • CycloneDX: json and xml

Goal #3: Customizable output

sbomqs scoring output can be customized by category or by feature. We understand everyone's needs for scoring differ, hence we allow to customize which categories or features should rsp. should not be included for scoring.

Category scoring

We have categorized our current features as follows:

  • NTIA-minimum-elements: Includes features, which help you to quickly understand if an SBOM complies with NTIA's minimum element guidelines.
  • Structural: Checks if an SBOM complies with the underlying specifications, be it SPDX or CycloneDX.
  • Semantic: Checks meaning of SBOM fields specific to their standard.
  • Quality: Helps to determine the quality of the data in an SBOM.
  • Sharing: Helps to determine if an SBOM can be shared.
  • OWASP BOM Maturity Model: Work in progress

Feature Scoring

We allow running any single feature to be tested against an SBOM.

  1. sbomqs generate features generates a features.yaml file.
  2. Open the features.yaml file and select the categories or features that you want to be enabled.
  3. Save and close the file.
  4. sbomqs score ~/data/app.spdx.json --configpath features.yaml use the features.yaml file to apply the changes.

For the list of features currently supported, visit features.md.

Goal #4: Consumable output

sbomqs provides its scoring output in basic and detailed forms.

The basic output is great for a quick check of the quality of an SBOMs. Once you get a good sense of how the tool works, this can also become the primary way of consuming data from this tool.

6.0     samples/blogifier-dotnet-SBOM.json
6.9     samples/julia.spdx.json
7.6     samples/sbom.spdx.yaml

Detailed output is presented in tabular and json formats, currently:

Tabular format: this format has been inspired by oss scorecard project.
