May,

 

Thank you for the quick response.

 

With regard to testing; some of the spdx tool vendors conduct interoperability 
testing by sharing artifacts and reporting on any issues encountered. The 
DocFest is a formal version of this testing. Would Palo Alto Networks be 
willing to share their SPDX artifacts, confidentially, with spdx tool vendors 
for interoperability testing purposes only?

 

I agree with your findings on the NIST VDR; NIST identified the VDR data to be 
included, but not a specific format. There are two open source NIST VDR 
“interpretation” formats available, one from OWASP CycloneDX and the other from 
REA:

Here’s an example of the open-source REA VDR format:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rjb4standards/REA-Products/master/SBOMVDR_JSON/VDR_118.json
 

 

I also wrote an article describing the NIST SBOM VDR that ties back to the SP 
800-161 standard and other NIST materials where VDR is referenced:

https://energycentral.com/c/pip/what-nist-sbom-vulnerability-disclosure-report-vdr

 

FYI: REA has offered to withdraw it’s VDR format if the industry agrees to 
endorse the CycloneDX VDR format. Also, note, REA offered to freely transfer 
its open-source VDR format to the Linux Foundation, when it was first 
introduced; the offer was never acted on.

 

Thanks,

Dick, 

 

Thank you for your questions. 

 

1. Our spdx-based IoT SBOM is available to all our customers.  I am not sure 
about the specific "testing purposes" you are referring to, happy to talk more 
details offline. 

 

2. Good question.  In addition to the SBOM info, we also provided links from 
SBOM to vulnerabilities, based on our own vulnerability database and some CVEs 
for now.  We do plan to 1) expand to more vulnerability databases and CVEs. 2) 
expand to cover more devices. 3) the latest NIST VDR document 
<https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-161r1.pdf>  
provides good guidance but did not prescribe specific format, we will closely 
follow up any updates from NIST. 

 

Thank you,

Thanks May.

 

Two questions:

1.      Is the SPDX artifact available to use for testing purposes?
2.      Is Palo Alto Networks also planning to issue NIST SBOM Vulnerability 
Disclosure Reports (VDR) that will be linked to the published SBOM?

 

Thanks,

Thank you, Phil, the members of the SPDX Steering Committee, and the SPDX 
Community.  

 

I am grateful for the fruitful year we have had working together. This year, we 
released the first loT SBOM product by Palo Alto Networks based on SPDX. Such a 
significant milestone couldn't have been possible without your support and 
leadership. I look forward to our continued collaboration to advance the 
adoption of SPDX and foster innovation in SBOM, especially in cybersecurity.
