What is an SBOM?

A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a detailed inventory of all components in a software application. It enables vulnerability tracking, license compliance, and supply chain risk management.

SBOM Generation

Generate SBOMs using SPDX or CycloneDX formats:

Generate SBOM with Syft

syft packages myapp:latest -o cyclonedx-json > sbom.cyclonedx.json

syft packages myapp:latest -o spdx-json > sbom.spdx.json

syft dir:./src -o cyclonedx-json > src-sbom.json

Generate SBOM for multiple languages

syft packages package-lock.json -o cyclonedx-json

syft packages requirements.txt -o cyclonedx-json

syft packages go.sum -o cyclonedx-json

Programmatic SBOM generation

import json

def generate_sbom(packages, metadata):

sbom = {

"bomFormat": "CycloneDX",

"specVersion": "1.5",

"version": 1,

"metadata": {

"timestamp": datetime.utcnow().isoformat() + "Z",

"tools": [{"name": "custom-bom-generator", "version": "1.0"}],

"component": {

"type": "application",

"name": metadata["name"],

"version": metadata["version"]

}

},

"components": []

}

for pkg in packages:

sbom["components"].append({

"type": "library",

"name": pkg["name"],

"version": pkg["version"],

"purl": pkg.get("purl"),

"licenses": pkg.get("licenses", []),

"supplier": pkg.get("supplier", {})

})

return sbom
