Python library for generating CycloneDX SBOMs

Overview

Python Library for generating CycloneDX

GitHub Workflow Status Python Version Support PyPI Version GitHub license GitHub issues GitHub forks GitHub stars


This CycloneDX module for Python can generate valid CycloneDX bill-of-material document containing an aggregate of all project dependencies.

This module is not designed for standalone use. If you're looking for a CycloneDX tool to run to generate (SBOM) software bill-of-materials documents, why not checkout:

Additionally, the following tool can be used as well (and this library was written to help improve it)

Additionally, you can use this module yourself in your application to programmatically generate SBOMs.

CycloneDX is a lightweight BOM specification that is easily created, human-readable, and simple to parse.

Installation

Install from pypi.org as you would any other Python module:

pip install cyclonedx-python-lib

Architecture

This module break out into three key areas:

  1. Parser: Use a parser that suits your needs to automatically gather information about your environment or application
  2. Model: Internal models used to unify data from different parsers
  3. Output: Choose and configure an output which allows you to define output format as well as the CycloneDX schema version

Parsing

You can use one of the parsers to obtain information about your project or environment. Available parsers:

Parser Class / Import Description
Environment from cyclonedx.parser.environment import EnvironmentParser Looks at the packaged installed in your current Python environment.
PoetryParser from cyclonedx.parser.poetry import PoetryParser Parses poetry.lock content passed in as a string.
PoetryFileParser from cyclonedx.parser.poetry import PoetryFileParser Parses the poetry.lock file at the supplied path.
RequirementsParser from cyclonedx.parser.requirements import RequirementsParser Parses a multiline string that you provide that conforms to the requirements.txt PEP-508 standard.
RequirementsFileParser from cyclonedx.parser.requirements import RequirementsFileParser Parses a file that you provide the path to that conforms to the requirements.txt PEP-508 standard.

Example

from cyclonedx.parser.environment import EnvironmentParser

parser = EnvironmentParser()

Modelling

You can create a BOM Model from either an Parser instance or manually using the methods avaialbel directly on the Bom class.

Example from a Parser

from cyclonedx.model.bom import Bom
from cyclonedx.parser.environment import EnvironmentParser

parser = EnvironmentParser()
bom = Bom.from_parser(parser=parser)

Generating Output

Once you have an instance of a Bom you can produce output in either JSON or XML against any of the supporting CycloneDX schema versions as you require.

We provide two helper methods:

  1. Output to string (for you to do with as you require)
  2. Output directly to a filename you provide
Example as JSON
from cyclonedx.output import get_instance, OutputFormat

outputter = get_instance(bom=bom, output_format=OutputFormat.JSON)
outputter.output_as_string()
Example as XML
from cyclonedx.output import get_instance, SchemaVersion

outputter = get_instance(bom=bom, schema_version=SchemaVersion.V1_2)
outputter.output_to_file(filename='/tmp/sbom-v1.2.xml')

Schema Support

This library is a work in progress and complete support for all parts of the CycloneDX schema will come in future releases.

Here is a summary of the parts of the schema supported by this library:

Note: We refer throughout using XPath, but the same is true for both XML and JSON output formats.

XPath Support v1.3 Support v1.2 Support v1.1 Support v1.0 Notes
/bom Y Y Y Y This is the root element and is supported with all it's defined attributes.
/bom/metadata Y Y N/A N/A Only timestamp is currently supported
/bom/components Y Y Y Y  
/bom/components/component
./author Y Y N/A N/A  
./name Y Y Y Y  
./version Y Y Y Y  
./purl Y Y Y Y  

Notes on Schema Support

  1. N/A is where the CycloneDX standard does not include this
  2. If the table above does not refer to an element, it is not currently supported

Python Support

We endeavour to support all functionality for all current actively supported Python versions. However, some features may not be possible/present in older Python versions due to their lack of support.

  • Can some of the runtime dependencies be loosened?

    Can some of the runtime dependencies be loosened?

    Thanks for this!

    I know poetry makes it easy lock every little thing down, and it makes testing easier, higher assurance, yadda yadda, but practically, it's quite inflexible when the effective ranges are very small... and on a self-declared lib to boot.

    Specifically, hooray for declaring a setuptools dependency: so many pkgutils-using packages forget to.

    However the size of the range covered by setuptools ^50.3.2 makes it relatively hard to appease (as in: exactly 1 version).

    Selfishly, this is blocking me downstream in packaging this and ultimately jake 1.x for conda-forge.

    The same goes for importlib_metadata which unfortunately gets pinned in a number of packages, and seems to change a lot for a backport package.

    Anyhow: would the maintainers be open to a PR that:

    • loosened the range of e.g. setuptools to be something more like >=50.3.2,<59
    • added a CI test excursion for the lowest and highest bound

    In the meantime, I may try patching the pin over on conda-forge and running the full test suite...

  • 2.5.0 regression: `SortedSet` assumes comparability of members, but `Vulnerability` model is not comparable

    2.5.0 regression: `SortedSet` assumes comparability of members, but `Vulnerability` model is not comparable

    Hi there! Thanks a ton for this library.

    We currently use it to generate SBOMs in pip-audit, and I noticed an interested regression upon upgrading to 2.5.0: it looks like Component.add_vulnerability attempts to add the underlying Vulnerability model to a SortedSet, which in turn fails because Vulnerability doesn't appear to implement the standard comparable operators (e.g. __lt__).

    Here's the failing code on our side, which worked in 2.4.0:

            for (dep, vulns) in result.items():
                if dep.is_skipped():
                    continue
                dep = cast(service.ResolvedDependency, dep)
    
                c = Component(name=dep.name, version=str(dep.version))
                for vuln in vulns:
                    c.add_vulnerability(
                        Vulnerability(
                            id=vuln.id,
                            description=vuln.description,
                            recommendation="Upgrade",
                        )
                    )
    
                self._components.append(c)
    

    and the failing CI tests on 2.5.0: https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/runs/6832431942?check_suite_focus=true

    In my estimation, this looks like a bug/regression, rather than a SemVer breakage -- the Vulnerability model also comes from CycloneDX, so it probably should have been made comparable at the same time that comparability was assumed by introducing SortedSet.

  • [BUG] Nested Components or Services breaks BOM validation

    [BUG] Nested Components or Services breaks BOM validation

    The schema documents suggest that components can be nested inside other components (i.e. for/with hierarchical merging).

    Hoewever, if I try to generate such a bom an exception is raised in the validate method here: https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-python-lib/blob/6e12be70fb2a71de60428155b4d0ae82fa43ef2d/cyclonedx/model/bom.py#L384 The reason for that is, because nested bom_refs underneath other components are not found by the implementation inside validate.

    Am I misunderstanding the schema or is this missing from the validation?

  • [FEATURE]  option to generate reproducible output

    [FEATURE] option to generate reproducible output

    I would like the tool to create exactly the same output if I run it on the same (Pipfile.lock) input file twice. This would make it easier to detect changes over time.

    There are several places where the outputs differ:

    1. The bom-ref is a GUID, newly generated on each run. This could be the purl (as cyclonedx-dotnet appears to do).
    2. The order of externalReferences is not maintained.
    3. The order of components/libraries is not maintained.

  • feat(deps): remove unused `typing-extensions` constraints

    feat(deps): remove unused `typing-extensions` constraints

    To be able to use new types, which will be introduced in Python 3.11, the package version shouldn't be pinned to 3.10.x and the package can be installed with any Python version, because you can't know, what the user will use. Here is the official explanation on version pinning

    Starting with version 4.0.0, typing_extensions uses Semantic Versioning. The major version is incremented for all backwards-incompatible changes. Therefore, it’s safe to depend on typing_extensions like this: typing_extensions >=x.y, <(x+1), where x.y is the first version that includes all features you need.

    When a BOM is created that has Patch objects with a non empty resolves property, the Issues are ignored and do not appear in the output.

    The resolves property stored in a ReleaseNote object is already correctly serialized, so it is just a matter of some code reuse.
