Chapter 5. Scan an SBOM for vulnerability, advisory and license information


Scan Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), AI Bill of Materials (AIBOM), and Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) documents using Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer (RHTPA) to review vulnerability, advisory, and license information.

Important

This procedure does not ingest the SBOM file into your RHTPA instance.

Prerequisites

  • An existing CycloneDX 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 or Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) 2.2, 2.3 document files.

Procedure

  1. Open a web browser.
  2. Go to the Trusted Profile Analyzer console URL for your running RHTPA instance.
  3. Log in to the Trusted Profile Analyzer console with your credentials.
  4. Click SBOMs from the navigation menu.
  5. Click the Generate vulnerability report button.
  6. You can drag and drop your SBOM file directly to this page, or click the Browse Files button, then choose the SBOM file you want to scan.
  7. After RHTPA scans the SBOM file, you get a summary of the analysis, and any specific vulnerability information for the packages included in your SBOM file.
