Webinar: SBOM Visualization – An Alternative Approach to Reviewing SBOMs

By automation, legal, licensing, News, Webinar

When we think about Software Build of Materials, we are looking at what might be a multi-dimensional space consisting of hierarchy, linking, modification, export restrictions, security vulnerabilities, distribution type, versions, etc. Care must be taken when setting up the SBOMs to both list the components used and to show how they are incorporated into your products. This webinar discusses how a visualization of such meta-information was implemented to display the relationships and potential risks in a quick and in easy-to-understand way. It was part of a research project funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWi) and with the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences and Bitsea.

OpenChain Webinar: AboutCode and Beyond – End-to-End SCA

By automation, community, legal, licensing, News, security, Webinar

This OpenChain Webinar digs into open source tooling with open data for open source compliance.

Full Overview From The Presenters

Ensuring software license and security compliance can be difficult. Managing open source components – especially their licensing, provenance, and vulnerability risk – is a critical part of Software Composition Analysis (SCA), which is now a prerequisite for modern organizations to comply with mandated SBOMs and other regulations.

Expensive, proprietary SCA solutions rely on proprietary data that can be outdated or just wrong. To make using open source easier for everyone, we need FOSS tools and open data for FOSS SCA. Philippe Ombredanne will explain how using 100% open source software and open data, the AboutCode stack offers a new approach for the practical management of open source software for licensing and vulnerability risks for organizations of all sizes.

Philippe will share how modular open source projects like ScanCode, VulnerableCode, and DejaCode fit together to identify components and their license, provenance, and known vulnerabilities, and aggregate this and SBOM data across products, teams, and organizations to address security, legal, and regulatory requirements for software license and security compliance in an integrated solution.

Philippe will also discuss exciting updates on new open source projects for better software supply chain integrity and security like CRAVEX, which delivers modern open source tools for developers to manage, triage, rate, review, and determine exploitability of package vulnerabilities in a package-centric world.

Webinar: Universal CVSS Calculator

By automation, News, security, Webinar

This webinar discusses a Universal CVSS Calculator released by {metæffekt} GmbH. The open-source online tool is intended to support the assessment of vulnerabilities with their various CVSS scores from multiple authorities. It was created due to the lack of CVSS calculators which could ingest multiple vectors with different CVSS versions and compare the scores consistently.

Webinar: FOSS License Management – meta-osselot for OSSelot-Data in OpenEmbedded

By automation, licensing, News, Webinar

Jasper Orschulko presented the concept of the meta-osselot project ( https://github.com/iris-GmbH/meta-osselot ) and how the curated data in OSSelot may be leveraged in OpenEmbedded environments.

This webinar is part of a new series provided by the OpenChain Automation Workgroup to provide insights in good practices for community based IP audits. The good practices shall be used to align on a community wide standard for metadata curation as base for sharing FOSS License Management Data.

Webinar: Curating FOSS license information for the OSSelot database

By automation, licensing, News, Webinar

Caren Kresse from OSADL talks about sharing and reusing publicly available FOSS compliance material, as provided by the OSSelot project (https://www.osselot.org/), which requires trust in the reliability of the data. Such trust can be fostered by ensuring high quality and consistency of the data through a standardized curation process and strict review of all contributions. This presentation will demonstrate the curation process for the OSSelot project, present the resulting material, and give an example of how a contribution is reviewed.

Webinar: VulnerableCode technical deep dive into VulnTotal

By automation, News, security, Webinar

The OpenChain Project ran a series of webinars about using open source tools for open source compliance ran between September and December 2021. They have been re-published in the main webinar series to improve discoverability. This episode explores how a tool called VulnTotal can help with open source security management.

Philippe Ombredanne from nexB lead a technical deep dive into VulnTotal on the 7th of February 2023. It was about an aspect of the AboutCode Project, with VulnerableCode providing tools to collect, aggregate and refine software vulnerability information from more than 20 sources and tools to quickly create new “importers”. Called VulnTotal, it came out of Google Summer of Code 2022:

VulnTotal: Cross-validate vulnerability coverage of VulnerableCode (Keshav Priyadarshi)

VulnerableCode is a unique project that collates and cross-references FOSS vulnerability data from multiple sources. Inspired by the VirusTotal multi-scanner virus scanning service, the VulnTotal project will cross-validate the vulnerability coverage of VulnerableCode against other publicly available vulnerability check tools and databases. For instance, a package may be reported as vulnerable by one tool or database but not by another. We can gradually work with these tool providers to keep each other apprised about newly discovered vulnerabilities, making FOSS more secure.
