SBOM Generator

This repository uses GitHub's dependency graph to automatically build an SBOM in SPDX 2.3 format. It supports the same ecosystems as the dependency graph. If you need support for a different set of formats, we recommend having a look at the Microsoft SBOM Tool, or Anchore's Syft.

Usage

GitHub Actions

You can add this Action to a GitHub Actions workflow by adding the following YAML to a workflow file. This publishes the SBOM as an artifact in the Actions workflow run.

name: SBOM Generator

on:
  push:
    branches: [ "main" ]

  workflow_dispatch:

permissions: read-all

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - uses: advanced-security/sbom-generator-action@v0.0.1
        id: sbom
        env: 
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3.1.0
        with: 
          path: ${{steps.sbom.outputs.fileName }}
          name: "SBOM"

As a CLI

  1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
  2. Change to that directory and run npm install -g . to install this CLI locally
  3. Run sbom-generator "githubtoken" "owner/name" where githubtoken is a legacy GitHub token with repository read permission and owner/name matches a GitHub repository. Alternatively, this script will automatically populate those values from the GITHUB_TOKEN and GITHUB_REPOSITORY environment variables.
